2024:

spit + scotch tape was originally presented in 2018 as my Master’s Thesis from Hollins University; now, thorough IF I CAN’T DANCE, I DON’T WANT TO BE PART OF YOUR REVOLUTION, I represented the performance as part of Open Rehearsal: Cycle 3.

A continual series of songs to the self, spit + scotch tape is a raging analysis of ego, performance and humor through nostalgia.

Visit my digital room with If I Can’t Dance now to experience 3 texts from the work reinterpreted in 3 different framings, as well as a paperdoll version of me you can print, cut out and play with.

2018:

A culmination of my Master’s thesis, spit + scotch tape is a woven performance of familial narratives and patterns through the dressing and undressing of passed down clothes.

“When your grandfather left, he left me with a debt at every store in town and a car held together with spit and scotch tape.”

This piecing together of memory creates a familial myth heavy with symbolism; the prom dress my mother made, the leopard pants my father partied in in Munich, the blouse my mother wore when she was pregnant with me. These clothes are costumes, our family history a chosen retelling and performance I must find my way within. Memory, yearning, longing and loss are strings pulling me from one story to another.

performed at Hollins University, Roanoke Virginia, 2018.
