My Favorite Person is a two person theater movement piece exploring relationship dynamics between two people using space, shape, and sound. In this piece we looks at cyclical, performative, perhaps even manipulative patterns that develop knowingly or instinctively during a partnership. We start at the beginning of the end. A couple shares an abstract liminal space--the confines of an apartment, where everything seems to be out of place. The subjects too seem to be out of place, though they cling to routine and seek to rekindle their love. Is it love for the other, or for the self that they are looking for?
“My Favorite Person is a piece born out of love, out of loss, out of curiosity. It is a collage of emotions, images and movements. I am extremely grateful to my team for following me into this cold pool of bathwater. I am extremely grateful to everyone in our lives who had contributed to the piece with their voice, with their music, with their support—family, chosen family, friends, lovers. This piece could not have been done without truly digging into the self, looking inward, and excavating memories and emotions. This process has been beautiful, and in parts scary, mostly because it is frightening to go there. But we must go there eventually, mustn’t we?”
