Why performance (now?)
This short essay will underscore a dialogic emphasis when thinking about audience in performance, defining and foregrounding an audience dialogic response orientation and a format for post-performance engagement. The essay begins with a very brief reflection on the role of audience and general talk-back models in performance. Next, grounded in Rowe's Wave 1.12.22 performance at DePaul, the essay will discuss a dialogue response format, tracing it…
Messy-making methods, staged encounters, and who’s performance
All in A moment
The performativity of comedic apologies
This essay examines the comedic apology ritual as a complex site of struggle over competing cultural values. First tracing the multilayered process of the categorical apology, we detail performative dimensions of apology specific to the dealing of comedy and the interpretive ambiguities of irony. Turning next to the context of the “apology epidemic,” we examine how the call for, and possible delivery of, an apology marks a performative struggle o…
Against its gravity
Queer generativity
This essay queers the concept of generativity through the multimedia staging of the performance Fred Astaire’s Dancing Lessons. The analysis enlists Pryor’s framework of time slips to examine specific moments and choices in the performance that disrupt normative temporality, interrogate the durability of youthism in queer cultural discourse, and gesture to alternative potentials for intergenerational relations. The essay demonstrates how performa…

The Non Sense
Discursive negotiations of Kenyan LGBTI identities
This study identifies and analyzes sites of discursive negotiation regarding sexual and gender minority identities in Kenya. A demonizing master narrative of homosexuality is constructed through cultural myths prevalent in Kenyan media yet challenged by claims of innate identity through strategic essentialism and glocalized naming practices. Using participant observation and creative focus group methodologies with lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, …
Narrating sexual identities in Kenya
This article examines the discursive construction of female same-sex sexual identities in Nairobi. We identify the discursive forces of "choice," devaluation, and invisibility as influential within Kenyan media representations of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex citizens. Using creative focus groups and participant observation, we demonstrate how same-sex attracted women in Nairobi resist and rearticulate these discursive forces …
Ironic Performativity
The essay examines Amy Schumer's breakout performance in the controversial Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen to unpack and theorize the workings of ironic performativity. The essay offers processual language (the doing of racism, the doing of sexism, etc.) correctives for audiencing, naming, and making sense of layered ironic performances to foster more complex audiencing practices and engage the work with greater critical scrutiny and possib…
Weighted Expectations upon Jodie Foster’s “[I’m not] Coming Out [to You] Speech”
As Jodie Foster took the stage to accept the DeMille Award at the 2013Golden Globe Awards, she was nervous, uneasy, unpolished, and awkward. Some thought she was drunk, lacking eloquence and refusing accommodation to the audience in a manner that felt “a little off.” It was, in relation to conventions of decorum and expectation, just a little queer. What else would we (should we) expect from Jodie Foster, and why want for otherwise? Like many of …
We're Not in Oz Anymore
This essay analyzes the writings from a gay male intergenerational project, wherein the process of generating creative prose, poetry, and fiction are used to explore differing understandings of age, aging, and future across gay male cohorts in Chicago. The project suggests one's age strongly informs one's perception of power dynamics and one's perceived access to power. Specifically, youthist logics and lingering cultural myths surrounding the ag…
The Critical-Norm
Grounded in a topics course designed to examine the limits of “racial talk,” the paper examines how critical pedagogy faces a complex web of obstacles in the interrogation of racial discourses and systems. Next, the paper moves to assert and apply the concept of the critical-norm, marking the performativity of critical dialogues and critical analysis that have come to inhibit critical work through the normalization of critical patterns of engagem…

Sensible' Suicide, Brutal Selfishness, and John Hughes's Queer Bonds
Queer bonds conceptualize inventive and resistant modes of belonging, sociability, and relation that push at, through, and outside normative relational systems and their normative commitments. The essay juxtaposes contemporary gay suicide discourse, specifically the 'It Gets Better' campaign and 2009's Prayers for Bobby with the 1985 Molly Ringwald made-for-TV film Surviving: A Family in Crisis, examining how normative familial bonds in discourse…
The Intersectional Workings of Whiteness
Frustrating the “I”
The essay demonstrates dialogic reflexivity in performance, performative response, and engaging criticism through the analysis of two stories. The first story, set in a bar, recounts a verbal homophobic assault, specifically crafted to examine the workings of masculinity, homophobia, and shame. The second story, a metanarrative of the first story, analyzes the ongoing process of uncovering the critical absences, fallibility, and tragic dimensions…
It's Not a Wedding, It's a Gayla
The possibilities of performance to move audience/participants into challenging, resistant, and self-reflexive spaces is wrought with complications, notably, the complex ways dominant discourses quickly recuperate acts of resistance. This essay documents and theorizes our weekend-long Gayla celebration: a political performance project of love, community, protest, and activism that enacted a series of performative rituals reconfiguring notions of …
Treading Across Lines in the Sand
For all bodies, performance can be a site to untangle and grapple with one's place within hegemonic structures. Our bodies, the bodies of a WHITE-JEW-GAY-GUY and a BROWN-DYKE-GIRL, come to the stage to negotiate possibilities of joining our differently situated queer subjectivities through the process of generating and performing collaborative personal narrative. Through understanding, grounding, and interrupting the politics of our relation we d…
Investigating Queer Future Meanings
This study interrogates the meanings that gay youth attach to the future, using discussion, creative engagement, and embodied performance to explore the possibility of queer fantasy as a resistant and generative site of future making. The project explores the creative potentials of focus group research as a method for education, exploration, and collaborative generation. The research identifies a strong gender divide in the narratives gay men and…
