JENI GUnN |The Perfect Fit - A Reckoning

Picture

After years of flying solo, Jeni’s got a date. To prepare, she hits the lingerie store, imagining herself as glamorous and irresistible. But styles have changed. The shocking onslaught of ruffles, impossibly tiny clasps and…string, forces her to confront her version of confidence, and the concept of the “perfect fit”.

ARTIST PROFILE
Jeni Gunn (she/her) graduated from the Canadian College of Acting in 2005. She’s a freelance writer, Resilience consultant and a member of the Playwrights Guild of Canada. Called to be a first responder in 2013, her path meandered away from her passion for collaborative storytelling. PeekShow marks her renewed commitment to creative self-expression.
