Skirt Prelude
Premiered July 2012

Music: Giuseppe Verdi
Performers: Tammy Carrasco
This work explores a series of female idealogies through theme and variation in movement. With my grandmother's green skirt, which I found in the back of her closet, I explore my personal feelings towards the expectations placed upon me in terms of gender expression and sexuality. In the performance of this work, I address the tension that exists between women who coexist in a household comprised of three seperate generations.
