Projects
Behind The Sheet
Written by Charly Evon Simpson and directed by Colette Robert, Behind The Sheet confronts the history of a great medical breakthrough by telling the forgotten story of a community of enslaved black women who involuntarily enabled the discovery.
decolonizing my vagina
Happening as part of Mabou Mines SUITE/SPACE Artist Residency, A ritual performance piece that explores the relationship to self love and self worth as seen through my experiences and identity as a queer fat woman of color who has dated primarily white men. Weaving together music, poetry, and storytelling, these complex intersections of intimacies are brought to life.
cracking open
cracking open is a story about cosmic connections and the bittersweet brutality of love. With poetry written by Cristina Pitter and live cello by Serena Miller, cracking open explores the imprints a soul can leave, the exhilarations and exhaustions of intimacy, and how to restring a heart to play again. Does it play again?
Residency!
My residency at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art Project Space for Queer Theatre & Performance was incredible! I was overjoyed to have that space, time, and support to develop “decolonizing the color of queerness” and look forward to it’s expansion come February 2019.
