The risk of having it

I developed The risk of having it solo as both autobiography and biography uniquely for this performer. I was interested in the possibilities media brought to layering what became something more akin to "dance theater"–the presence of film and text were amplified by a precise play of lights and props and changing costume in a bare space.
