Performance of Self is an immersive piece by Jodie Landau which uses chamber music and dance to weave its way through songs and stories about queerness, gender, sexuality, [online] dating, choice, consent, attraction, desire, expectations, conforming to someone’s needs vs. self-preservation, language and communication, dance, drag, costume, and the performance of self.

“We continuously construct and curate our lives, our relationships, and our selves,” said Landau, “ by choice or by circumstance. We weave the stories given to us, those we gather, and those we choose to retell to form a sense of identity. In identifying ourselves and each other we look to codify and define, and in such things we find both comfort and tribulations, as well as opportunity and limitations. Within all this, gender and sexuality are heavily weighted and fascinating topics, or at least have been for me, by choice and circumstance.”

Commissioned by Beth Morrison Projects, Raulee Marcus, & Stephen Block. Developed by Beth Morrison Projects. Produced and Presented by Beth Morrison Projects in association with National Sawdust. Support for a developmental residency for Performance of Self provided by CAP UCLA.
