Presented by FringeArts, Philadelphia. NYC premiere at JACK, Brooklyn

This was a compilation of our first years of making. It included Rooster&Snowball and Singer/Songwriter and then some new material in between: like solos about the devil and self-love. People thought it was a kind of comment on the whole retrospective. We thought it was practical.

Presented by FringeArts in Philadelphia, PA, June 9-12, 2016.

Part performance and part lecture, this show explored the versions of ourselves we prefer to leave out of the narrative. It was a big experiment: what would happen if we highlighted those versions: the ones we are ashamed of but also enjoy?

Costumes and Set: Ana-Miren San Millan

There is something delightful and unnerving about the disconnect between the onstage persona and the everyday self. This piece explored that contrast through the lens of the female songwriter: who bellows uncompromising lyrics and then squeaks out banal and nonsensical explanations between songs. There were real songs, with titles like: “Things we Should be Doing” and “She’s a Living Contradiction.”

Premiered through Jumpstart at the Painted Bride

Our first duet coalesced around the character of the “Failed Rebel:” the person who cusses loud and performs angry in safe spaces like college or the stage but is actually very tame because they feel nervous jaywalking and guilty when they don’t call their mom back immediately.
