Review

“…I feel that this piece being shown to the world will create change and hope, so that we know that everyone can feel safe and respected.” -Caroline Cossette, TeenTix Newsroom

CHAMP is a reflection on sexual repression and the affects of toxic masculinity in the home and in society. Utilizing American sports culture as a backdrop, contemporary and social dance languages, and bleak emotional imagery, the work dissects our conditioning of gender identity and the unique obsession cis identifying people have with queer people.
