my fantasy has turned to madness 🪄🩸

I’m not sure I can put into words the experience of making my Lost Boys pole number. Some of you have been kind enough over the past month to listen to my growing anxiety about this piece—the way travel, and then illness, and then work, and then various life emergencies, and then just plain exhaustion ate away at my practice time; the way I couldn’t reliably hit several of the moves I needed for the Big Dramatic Moments; the way the effects were such a struggle to get right; the way I actually had a dozen people in the audience coming to see me specifically and was terrified of disappointing them. At a certain point, it became an exercise in faith as much as anything.

No one was more surprised than I was when that faith proved to be justified.

Honestly, though, I think the biggest takeaway was how much better this number came out for other people’s help. My produce’s input was invaluable, especially with the effects. A friend from the goth/punk scene in the 80s and 90s lent me key costume pieces and gave me additional background. @thisisnotmolchanka provided important feedback and let me use her practice space when mine proved inadequate. Our tech absolutely nailed the sound and lighting, and our photographer worked wonders in capturing key moments. Even the costume shop owner, when she heard my concept, went “I have just the wig for you,” and turned out to be 100% correct.

The whole experience has been such a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when we work together. In the midst of a week with more highs and lows than the elevator in the Hancock Building, it gives me hope for my queer pole community. We will persist, we will thrive, and we will keep making Art to remind ourselves why we’re fighting—and that the darkness never lasts forever.
