kept awake at night by the ways capitalism has manipulated our relation to money and labor and desire.
I exist in this body In this time and I follow the rules, whether I like it or not
I have to correct those who mispronounce my name even when it’s their fault
I must conceal the fact I’m on my period at all costs
I must humor men and respect them, even if they make me uncomfortable
I must apologize for my presence as though I am an inconvenience even when I’m not
I must wear clothing flattering to my body shape to please the male gaze

I really enjoyed working on The Human Mystery. This is among my favorite pieces and my audiences seem to agree! It started out as a personal piece but quickly evolved into something poignant and universal. This project was a true labor of love, which I’m sure you’ll be able to appreciate once you see for yourself. Speak to me to learn about my upcoming performances.

My theme for this performance was the significant and ever changing power of love. The Dance of Death is often called a tearjerker, since audiences can barely hold back their tears when I perform. I managed to incorporate several mediums in order to reach adequate emotional levels, and it was a great success! Contact me to find out more about this project.
