"What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open."
-Muriel Rukeyser, 1968
Domesticated:Housebroken is an evening-length solo performance that reveals how one woman inhabits the physical spaces within her "home" and exposes the intimate moments that transpire there. As she moves from the kitchen and living room to the laundry room and nursery, the audience is invited to consider the complexities of domestic life and to reflect upon how society treats women, how women treat one another, and how women treat themselves.
Domesticated:Housebroken premiered in Brooklyn in February 2020.

I am quiet, I am introspective, and I do a lot of listening. I am resolutely influenced by what I hear in the world around me. I am a feminist choreographer whose work stems directly from the joys and struggles I have encountered as a sensitive and receptive woman. I capture moments on stage where contradictions lie, and like the feminine experience itself, athleticism meet ethereality and impetuosity meets the slow burn reality of the human condition. My current body of work has been called acerbic, topical, penetrating, creepy, funny, and even pretty. I believe my work attempts to investigate the complexities of womanhood…sometimes fulfilling and sometimes mundane. I am driven to create work because I feel an intrinsic need to communicate with others. I have a desire to make art that creates dialogue, promotes political interrogation, makes cultural shifts, and opens lines of communication.
Domesticated:Housebroken carves out a physical and emotional space for all of us to reflect on how our society treats women, how women treat one another, and how women treat themselves. In this work, women are the central characters in their own narratives, and the audience is invited to witness them feeling empowered, vulnerable, ecstatic, and ambivalent. As a contemplative, receiving, discerning female artist, this piece has given me the opportunity to cultivate my years of experience into a evening-length performance that leaves the audience feeling as though they might be agents of change in their own lives.
