- The Rise and Phall of Working out in a Dress
Working towards, working out, working within & against. A genderqueer identity in its inevitable vessel, the body, searching for shapes. Shapes that would alleviate the coming-across-as-something through elevating it to a state of coming across as the secret third thing.
Researching the ways our bodies take shape in gendered manners, the piece reaches towards representation outside of the gender binary. The fundamentally queer combination of labor and identity creation is highlighted through staging a struggling, enjoying, and autonomic body, in search of the not-yet-here.
