Dresses with Catheter
Dresses with Catheter
Written, Choreographed, and Performed by Amy Litzinger and Kelsey Oliver
Dresses with Catheter is a movement-infused spoken dialogue that is rooted in discussing and unpacking accessibility issues. The text surrounds the daily interaction with restrooms and their social context. Situated in the round, the audience witnesses two bodies, differing in abilities and experience, uncover their perceptions of existing in private and public spaces.
This piece was performed on February 11th, 2017 at The Elizabet Ney Museum in Austin, Texas.
The performance was a part of Mi Casa Es Su Teatro, a day of site-based work performed in local homes, as a part of FronteraFest.

Weird, Reweird
Weird, Reweird
a spoken word + dance duet
specifically concocted for Thee Gay Agenda’s Gender Isn’t Real Party
In “Weird, Reweird,” dancer Kelsey Oliver and writer Mac Irvine meet at the intersection of art and academia down the corner from queerness a few blocks down from technology but not so far that you’ve hit gender to grapple with the ways in which abstracting the real is political and radical and the ways in which there is power in that.
