Trailer

(re) is a 20 minute solo performance, researching privacy, rest, intrusive thoughts, and the audience performer contract. An empty bathtub sits on stage, while buckets of warm lavendar water sit waiting meters away. The audience is gently requested to fill the tub, in service of the performer. Please, she could really use some rest. A performer takes a bath. She attempts to sit with her own thoughts but eventually decides to connect to the web via live stream video and anonymous chat. From their seats in the black box, audience members can access and participate in a real-time chat which is projected on stage. The performers completes increasingly daring tasks in exchange for “tokens” or participation from the audience members. After 20 minutes, the bath begins to cool.
