Short Works
Eyes Eyes Eyes
2006, 25 min
“A pop beauty made of sensuality, sexuality, and wit. Eyes Eyes Eyes is a choreographed storm of all kinds of passions.” - NY Theater.com
Comical and uncomfortable Eyes,Eyes,Eyes is a fast paced, twitchy work that explores the physical exorcism of surveillance through the raw nerve outlet of dance. A pelvic thrust will set you free. Representing the contradictory and painful cycle of aggressor/aggressed this work is a queer- warrior heart breaking ironic surrender to taking the ride and being the ride taken.

Maybe You Could
2005, 8 minutes
In Maybe You Could the performers literally tie themselves in knots. Are they trying to get closer or get away from each other? Playful, obsessive and straight up mean the work explores how we hurt ourselves by hurting each other. In the middle of the hoppy, slappy entangled moment Karrine Keithley belts out a song on the ukulele. The lyrics say, “I can’t begin to tell you how much you mean to me.” The work asks rhetorically “Maybe, You Could?”
