A solo performance using autobiographical events to confront gender bias and cultural ideals around intimacy—in life, in art-making, and in dance itself. The artists ask how art can be a vehicle for transgressive ideals which prove difficult to uphold in real life, pointing to “slut-shaming” and the Madonna-whore dichotomy as a cultural mythology propagated in art and life alike—a status quo which hardly serves the de-sexualized mother-artist.
