"TO BE A BODY FOR THEM, A BODY THEY CANNOT BE"

During this dinner, I want to invite you around a table to share four performative readings of text that I have been writing: "A Future Letter To Consent", "The Heterosexual Duet. R.I.P.", "Going Naked" and "COPYCAT".

These texts are based on the activist and discursive work that I have been doing with Engagement Arts (BE), an artist-led movement that was formed in the wake of #MeToo.

I have made these small performative readings in collaboration with Elsa B.
