I am Marilyn
In response to the multifaceted persona of actress Marilyn Monroe this work was initially imagined as a short film - an examination of queer gender and sexual identities. The film never materialized, but years later it was realized as a contemporary dance solo for the stage premiering in 2008 and now in this incarnation as a three-channel video installation trilogy examining personal/collective identity. Set to a commissioned monologue by Byron Fast and filmed in Seoul, Berlin and Toronto, this work features dance artists HyoSeung Ye, Winston Reynolds and David Rose.
