Allow me to Re-introduce myself!
It’s been a minute since I’ve performed on stage and even longer since I’ve performed alone. For 8 years, give or take a couple, I performed with a pair of badass, smart, funny hot butchas. We called ourselves the Butchlalis de Panochtitlan or just BdP. We wrote together, rode together in cars and planes across our country giving and taking voices, experiences, friendships along with us. 2010 was the last time I curtseyed with those compas. A couple of weeks ago I workshopped my new piece “Midnight Steel” at Highways Performance Space, it was a fucken trip being back in that black box where the BdP premiered all our new work. Highways was our Tuesday morning, our itunes or Tidal where one could witness and celebrate our new creations with us before others outside of LA got a chance to check them out. This last time I returned to Highways, me alone, I carried the weight of the work. It means everything and nothing at the same time, cause I really didn’t do it alone I had Alis
