 Inspired by the fallout of the 2016 Election, “I am not a Monster.” is an immersive dance-theatre experience that explores the ways that emotional abuse exist within a community and how that abuse affects those that live in it.. Created in collaboration between choreographer Nicole Lawson and the cast, “I am not a Monster.” uses a blending of text and movement to create a series of vignettes that construct the narrative of Ryan, a young college student struggling to find her place within a community torn by polarization, prejudice, and implicit bias. Audience members will take a tour through the “Museum of Useless Efforts” where they will observe Ryan’s story and have a chance to decide whether and where they see monsters. Be warned: the truth is scary.
