In Song and Dorothy Parker
Beginning with the video Here We Are, in which I use Dorothy Parker’s play by the same name and perform both the male and female character, I have used Dorothy Parker texts to effect social commentary. In singing the lost poems of the cultural icon to related contemporary pop songs, I enter a discussion of feminism, or voter registration rights, mental health care, and an assortment of other political topics.
