I’ve spent months thinking about what this performance means to me, and what it might mean to its potential audience.

Growing up as a queer artist in Indiana, it wasn’t uncommon to get somebody’s shit thrown at me from a passing car, along with a shout of “what’s up Fabio,” or “look out, faggot!” You couldn’t dress too fancy, “present” as too effeminate or artistic, and I learned, over time and repeated abuse, including from my own family, to blend in.

As a white male living in Chicago, it’s not uncommon to be sneered at by people in what are ostensibly my own queer communities, assuming I’m just another cis male, not queer enough to fit into the gay or trans communities, told to go live in my “privilege,” (which I do no doubt have), and again, forced back to blending in. 

Intolerance is everywhere. I started working in an ensemble after making a series of performance works about toxic masculinity and white supremacy, and my impulse was to somehow try and codify the refraction of our belief systems as we move through the distortional and dissociative effects of these forces on our minds. 

That ensemble, called Mirrorglass, is also an interrogation of the “blinkering” and fragmentation that occurs in any instance of emotional or personality disordering, or in any instance within which subjective, lived experience is fragmented beyond recognition. Similar to how art is not inherently inclusive. It has to be wrested into meaning.

I’m so proud to work with the dancers forming this ensemble as they move in and out of Mirrorglass, and to finally see myself, reflected in our efforts at a salutary artistic collaboration, so thank you to Viginia VanLieshout for dancing this with me, Tate Glover for providing choreography, Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble Artistic Director Maggie Robinson, Marketing Coordinator Sophia Sinsheimer and to the tolerant of this world.

ore importantly, your personal experience mindfully using our emotions as data about our inner state and knowing when it’s better to de-escalate by taking a time out are great tools. Appreciate you reading and sharing your story since I can certainly relate and I think others can to

RECOVERYBUREAU @ CONSULTANT . C0M is the best cryptocurrency/fund recovery and mobile phone cloning agency to help you remotely spy your suspected cheating spouse mobile devices

I was a victim of bitcoin scam, I saw a glamorous review showering praises and marketing an investment firm. I reached out to them on what their contracts are, and I invested $155,000 which I was promised to get my first 15% profit in weeks, when it was time to get my profits, I got to know the company was a scam. They kept asking me to invest more and I ran out of patience and requested to have my money back and they refused to answer nor refund my funds. . I heard about Recovery Bureau from a golf partner that used his services already and I decided to reach out to him. After explaining my situation and complaints to him, he was swift and took action and within 28 hours he got back my funds back with the due profit. I urge someone in a similar situation to reach out to Recovery Bureau on their support email: RecoveryBureau@consultant.com. They are reliable, trustworthy, affordable and provides excellent services.

The author describes her as a non-runner. She is also from New Jersey. The author also described her as skinny and tall. She has been suffering from asthma since she was young. At first, she did not like running but then she became addicted to it. She started running with a group of people and built up her stamina and so on

I strongly advise using this very reputable pro wizard Gilbert Recovery for anyone looking to recover any type of crypto currencies assets from online frauds, Wallet hackers, or BTC transferred to the wrong address. After I lost a lot of money to those terrible con artists posing as recovery specialists, this recovery specialist was great in aiding me in getting my Bitcoin back. After I gave pro wizard Gilbert Recovery the relevant details and prerequisites, a total of 1.4170 BTC was eventually recovered. I was overjoyed that I had been able to recover this much after having lost even more to the problems I had dealt with before discovering pro wizard Gilbert Recovery. So don't hesitate to get in touch with prowizardgilbertrecovery(@)engineer.com / WhatsApp: (+1) 541- (240) 9985 if you find yourself in this scenario and need help recovering from an online bitcoin scam.

Losing all my money on a fake investment scam has been a nightmare for me and my family until I got in touch with Spyweb Cyber. A few months back, I was one of the many victims who lost everything to a fake BTC and crypto exchange investment platform and I was depressed for weeks until my neighbor told me about Spyweb Cyber, a cryptocurrency recovery company, that helps scam victims recover their money. I thought that was impossible but after giving it a second thought, I got in touch with Spyweb and after providing all the information they needed, my money was recovered from these scammers. I’m super grateful to Spyweb and I wish to put this out there to every victim of an online scam, you can recover whatever amount you lost if you get in touch with Spyweb Cyber Security Services.

Here is their contact information

Investing online has been a main source of income, that's why knowledge plays a very important role in humanity, you don't need to over work yourself for money. All you need is the right information, and you could build your own wealth from the comfort of your home !Binary trading is dependent on timely signals, assets or controlled strategies which when mastered increases chance of winning up to 90%-100% with trading. It’s possible to earn $2,000 to $20,000 trading weekly-monthly in cryptocurrency(bitcoin) investment, just get in contact with Mrs. Aileen my broker. I had almost given up on everything and even getting my lost funds back, till I met with him, with his help and guidance now I have my lost funds back to my bank account, gained more profit and I can now trade successfully with his profitable strategies and software!! Reach out to him through Gmail : blankatm156@gmail.com , for inquires. . Note this is not free
