Background on the project:

Originally produced as One-Act play at the 2012 Kitchen Riots Festival, this marks the 3rd in a series of development workshops for 'Call Me She.'

This collaboration between director Danielle Velkoff, writer Jen Browne, and choreographer Jess Taylor of DAMAGEDANCE seeks to integrate dance, text, music and technical elements into a seamless storyline.  The six week, ensemble-based workshop sets out to explore existing text and scenes through movement and will culminate in a final showing for a selected feedback panel.  Our goal is to explore concepts of Identity and the flexibility of the human mind.
