x dance (2026)

In May 2020 I made a short dance video entitled x dance. I searched 'regret' in my email inbox, and collected the words and themes from rejection emails I have received since 2013 to create a solo that reckons with pity and meditates on melodrama and the transcendence of no.

Recomposed and performed by Moscelyne ParkeHarrison for BODYSONNET's New York Now. May 23, 2026 at The Gym at Judson Church. 

x dance premiered in Summer 2022 at ‘neverover: an invitation to queer chaos’ Little Boxes Theater, San Francisco, and ‘Blue Hour’ The Foundry, West Stockbridge.
