It was a joy to revise and revisit my solo show, Deep $h*t at Judson Arts Wednesday's Magic Time last month. Much thanks to everyone who came to support, laugh and applaud. I look forward to finding the next opportunity to fully produce the work.
Performance Art Explorations at Jack Shainman Gallery /
If you enjoyed my work on Ntozake Shange's choreoessay, check out this October clip from a collective performance I worked on with Hayv Kahraman entitled Gendering Memories in Iraq as part of her recent exhibit at Jack Shainman Gallery. This was another wonderfully unique opportunity to tell story and collaborate across disciplines.
Description from Hyperallergic:
"Five women of multiracial denominations read from scripts, detailing first-person accounts of the artist’s life in a powerful invocation of a collective bearing witness to personal trauma. If sound is the most expansive vector for violence, then the voice – the one that bears witness – is the most compelling one for justice.
Each testimonial starts with the phrase “Let me share with you my memories” and recalls episodes of war and trauma that span a quarter century, from huddling with family members by candlelight in a dark basement in northern Iraq to the intrinsic need as an expectant mother to connect with her past, in order to transmit familial genealogies and cultural histories to the next generation."
Liz Morgan included as Playwrights Realm Writing Fellowship semi-finalist /
“ The play is as full of heart as it is of longing as it explores a desire for connectivity and finding a sense of belonging in the world. [Morgan has] a fluidity with poetic language and deep understanding of rhythm...”
The Playwrights Realm has announced their 2017-2018 Writing Fellows and I'm pleased to be included in the Broadway World press release as one of their semi-finalists for Deliver: Letters to the Motherland from a Foreign Body. Congratulations to all!
