Gay Patriot / Patriot Erectors – Touring 2019

Through Patriot Erectors, they put the community center stage to reveal and honor the value of their contributions.  – Lavender Magazine

Patriot Erectors examines the root of our disconnection to national identity. Deconstructing acts of nationalism from marching in the streets to singing of the National Anthem, Patriot Erectors explores both celebration and protest.  

Commissioned by the Dancing Queerly Festival premiered June 22 – 23 2018 at The Dance Complex, Boston MA.  Generous support provided by Fidelity Charitable / James K Spriggs Foundation.  Workshopped while in residency at the Center for Performing Arts, MN.
