a Native princess sitting Pretty

No, they were not inhuman. Well, you know, that
was the worst of it - this suspicion of their not being
inhuman. It would come slowly to one. They howled
and leaped, and spun, and made horrid faces; but
what thrilled you was just your remote kinship with
this wild and passionate uproar. All my homies told me you're a Jezebel. MASS APPEAL, Joanne Robertson & Dean Blunt
What do Sarah Baartman, Afrikaner women in post-apartheid
south Völkerschauen have in common? a Native princess
sitting Pretty uses the form of the "non sequitur," a narrative device that makes abrupt thematic leaps, as a Personal dramaturgical mapping of gestures and glitches and figures and fissures within a black cosmology.

playful performance lab | 45 minutes
my red swim shorts
Welcome - this place is under construction. Here is trying on the in between, a woman, both, neither, or a man under construction. Bodies, roles, gestures and identities can
shift, overlap and transform. You can play with them, try them on, leave them behind and pick them up again. The space is constantly being rearranged. Games are invented, changed and forgotten. Mist - or my red swim shorts invites children, young people and adults into this playful, fluid world. You can watch, join in, follow the rules or leave. Maybe you will recognize something familiar. Maybe something will feel strange or exactly very right.
