A gay, mentally-ill homeless man lives in an in-between place of the present and his abusive past. His reality is a Gothic playground of frightful personal memory, and the media of the 1970s that inspires his visions. He is alone, and ready to accept his losses; It’s not that I have anything against living… is a poignant meditation which is wrought through that uncomfortable place between silence and words.

For DEREK, Chroma 1995 uses the text of artist and author Derek Jarman’s Chroma: A Book of Colour – June ’93 as a source to investigate concepts of light and color and notions associated with each and how that connects to the color of movement.

Taking its name from a 1986 gay p*rn film, DYNASTUD is a solo exploring the complexities of male-male desire and anonymous sex. The work dissects the figure of the dream-boy and the act of cruising through movement, text, and video, presenting the queer male experience as one of subtext and coding. In DYNASTUD, the tube-socked and tan-lined fantasyland of gay p*rn’s Golden Age is both a utopia and a dystopia. Treading the line between tragedy and comedy, the performer relives sexual experiences both real and imagined in an arresting meditation on desire, loneliness, and intimacy.
