Touching Queerness: Performing Utopia in a Public Bathroom

View Program

Choreographed and Performed by Adar Kamholtz-Roberts.

Presented for partial fulfillment of Honors in Theater and Dance.

This project is a site-specific dance that takes place in a men’s bathroom on Macalester campus. I created this work out of my research on site-specific dance and performance theorist José Esteban Muñoz’s theory of queer utopia. I attempt to treat the bathroom as a dance partner, negotiating what movement and freedom is possible in everyday spaces where gender is scripted and controlled.
