I am a genderqueer, interdisciplinary artist. The performances I make center queer body politics by layering bombastic, postmodern-influenced choreography with erotic imagery, text and sound. Most of my work has an element of humor because I believe laughter generates trust between performers and the audience, laying the groundwork for both provocation and pleasure. Humor allows me to build bridges between public and personal; casual and erotic; banal and profoundly psychological. The form and theatricality of my work point to a critical intersection of queer kinship, and performance, through which I critique politics of exclusion and rigidity. Through my work and the worlds and communities I build within it, I seek to imagine more idealistic, less coercive, queer futures.
