"a brief inquiry as to why women don’t go to the bathroom alone" is a multidisciplinary performance piece centered around perceptions of the female performing body. The work is made possible by five dancers seamlessly shifting between different performance disciplines such as dance, theatre, drag, burlesque, stand-up comedy, and so much more. This work encompasses both my knowledge and ingenuity in dance as well as my passion for feminist studies. "a brief inquiry" exists at the unique and delicate cross-section of academia, creative inquiries, political commentaries, shared and differing histories, and a comedic look at the world. Through narrative structures and laughter, the work humorously tackles difficult conversations surrounding gender and the role of female performing bodies within a patriarchal world.
