Queer Mvmnt Fest June 2022

Friends! I am delighted to have my work – a film and a performance – presented by Queer Mvmnt Fest, but honestly?

There are so many exquisite workshops, panels, shows, & screenings that I encourage you to check it ALL out. Free!

During the festival, here’s where to find me and my work:

4pm and 6:30pm Friday June 24, 2022
in a quiet time (film)

Karen and I ask each other, What forgotten memories buoy our present? How do we dance our genders and sexualities? How to approach ourselves as future ancestors? This film is an imprint of our talks. Karen reaches, drops, and floats in utterance while dancing the materials of our gathering.

6pm and 8pm Saturday June 25, 2022
What a man! (live performance)

In this drag king duet, Angelica Bell and I play with the farce of the boy band trope while revealing an undertone of sexual violence. We unveil a strained gay-for-you drama between performers and exalt the ludicrously fun with JTT, JT, & NSYNC throwback vibes.

Free tickets are live beginning June 1st
