Description of Informal Showing:
You’re Actually The Last Person I Wanted To See Today is a dance theater piece/slumber party/diary entry/place to honor and grieve our collective and individual teenage girlhood(s) through a queer lens. What were the stories we told ourselves to make sense of our queerness before we came to know it? How do we tell those stories now? From first kisses with boys that disgusted us (sorry) to “girl crushes” on our besties, the work is a collage of memories, fantasies, and poorly kept secrets.
