ana

Emily lays on a white background, and is wrapped in a white tarp that she grips. She stares straight forward with her lips pursed. Around her green foliage surrounds her in an arch.

"We have decided not to die."

ana explores the persecution of the feminine and uses elements of abstracted movement, text, clown, and song to express her many aspects. ana is a multifaceted being who has reached a breaking point and brought an audience together in a call for action. This work is a union of emotion, ceremony, violence, and rebellion.

The piece was in development from 2014 to 2016. Since it's initial Petri Dish Residency, ana was workshopped through UnoWorks in 2014, a two week devising workshop in January 2015, and a residency at the acclaimed Videofag in Toronto.
