This video étude was commissioned by Prime Mover Theatre Company as part of Race Cards (in Two Acts), a project in dialogue with Selina Thompson’s work, Race Cards, that was installed in the Union Station media box in Toronto, Ontario in July 2022.
For this video, I opted to self-explore a moment I witnessed during a Q&A with an established white male composer. His answer to a common get-to-know-you question, “what are your desert island albums” surprised me, and I wanted to “try on” his answer and maybe get a glimpse of what I thought lead to that answer.
Commissioned by Prime Mover Theatre Company, directed by Sandro Pehar, produced by Sarah O’Brecht, wardrobe by Tess Degenstein
