Custom Gender
by Shahd Katba
Custom Gender is a participatory self-portrait performance based on the idea of the gender as spectrum. It plays with the binary genders’ expressions and the expression of gender transition between the sexes on a spectrum. The audience is involved in the making of the piece as they are allowed to explore the gender spectrum and its limitations through the performer. Shahd takes from their own gender exploration journey as a Trans* nonbinary person. The piece is also inspired by Marina Abramovic’s Rhythm 0 and She She Pop’s For Everyone.

i wish i could be there
by Helena Cunningham
during the performance i will answer whenever someone calls me.
i will tell them how sorry i am about missing the performance
then i will tell them what i would have performed had i been there
i will apologize again for not being there
i will thank them for coming
i will apologize again and tell them about how much i wish i could be there.
i will bid them farewell.
With inspiration from She She Pop’s “Canon”, and in-class discussions of Antonia Baehr and Jule Flierl’s “Draw My Breath”.

How is it that we are always full of questions without answer? Why don't elephants have two trunks? How is it that we are okay with never getting an answer to most of our questions? What will I eat tonight? How private are your questions? Would you like to hear ours? Do our dreams mean anything? Questions, Humming, and fairy dust are waiting for you!
