Aimee Herman utilizes music, movement and language to translate the stories of one queer body as it unravels itself in patches of narration. This is a funny, sexy, and revealing portrayal of one particular journey through queerness, gender and the complications of labels.
~ FOLLOWED BY ~ WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU’RE THE ONE Created & Performed by Laryssa Husiak
In a trio of live music videos, solo artist Laryssa Husiak explores the sexualization of women through
repetitive thrusts and blank stares. Don’t worry, it’s not as ball-busting as it sounds: she is wearing a
groovy swimsuit. The result is a ferocious dance party spun out of some classic tunes.
Advance tickets: $15 General Admission | $12 Student/Senior Door: $18 General Admission $15 Student/Senior
