She imagines an invisible table made only of the constructs of her fantasy and thus void of the salt of the earth.

23 Skidoo

(2012)

The work is based on an iconic image from an early 1900’s legend regarding the Flatiron building. It is said that the buildings triangular shape created specific wind currents. These gusts of winds would blow women’s skirts revealing their legs as they passed by. Such an occurrence caused men to loiter and watch, finding fascination with the bare legs of a women, seldom exposed at that time. Local Authorities would shout, 23 Skidoo, as a code word for telling the men to scatter, stop their gazing. Abstracting & exaggerating the representation of this image, the research explored an architectural structure which informed a movement vocabulary as well as the relationship of men and woman over the past 110 years. This first part is created for the theatre with a cast of seven women and three men. The second part was site-specific, located around the Flatiron building with 32 women and 10 men.
