Raised in San Francisco during the dot com boom of the 90s and trained as a dancer, my theater work explores embodiment in the age of technology. Beginning in 2012 with She was a Computer, I looked at how female identity & feminism has been shaped by a century worth of gadgets from the telephone to the blow dryer. After the Tone examined how technology has changed the way we mourn, and asks how we can heal if we can’t forget. Darknet took the audience on a journey through the onion router to address questions about anonymity, privacy and lawlessness in the digital age. Most recently, Virtual Girlfriend used Tumblr porn, 1-900 numbers, and live duets with Alexa to tell the story of a love affair with a mechanical turk girlfriend and examine the intimate relationships we have with our phones.
