A performance duet of sonic verse dance and audience experience, this piece addresses what it means to be a woman. It challenges the expectations imposed upon women in our society. Using a co-authored text, musician and playwright Karen Cecilia and dance and visual artist Emilee Lord break down and name the expectations they have each combatted and then assert what they chose instead.
While each performer’s story differs in detail and expression, a common thread between them may ring true with other women who have carved their own paths in life.
The audience will be asked to consider their own ideas of “shoulds.”
