PINK BOOTH CONFESSIONS, 29min., USA, Experimental
Directed by Millie Heckler
Pink Booth Confessions relishes in what it means to be woman: dark, whole, broken, bent, drunk, woke, silent, brash, slutty, strong, prude, wise, forever-changing and deeply committed to humanity and love. Through a pressurized “pink booth,” performers testify to their experiences as women, illuminating their secrets and discharging them simultaneously. Directed by UVM Dance Faculty Millie Heckler in collaboration with Schivona Johnson, Britt Ford, PhaeMonae, Camille Breslin and Elias Hill, this work features original music, dance, costume design, set design, and videography. This project is supported in part by the Vermont Arts Council, the Vermont Community Foundation and the Austin Music Disaster Relief Fund.
