On Gob Squad's "Creation (Pictures for Dorian)"
Gob Squad's "Creation (Pictures for Dorian)" left me hungry. I was moved by the innocent selfie face and the drag queen and hearing the old ballerina say "muscle memory." But I still, like I said, wanted more.Gob Squad Promotional Image for "Creation (Pictures for Dorian). 2019. |

I found the untouched black box space tiring and colors thoughtless. Messy staging confused and distracted me. In fact, the lack of conceptualization distracted me throughout the piece.

Does this say something about my own understanding of what makes something worthy to put before the eyes of myself and others? Yes, I think so.
I also think that what I'm discovering in that regard is exactly one of the many topics touched upon in "Creation (Pictures for Dorian)."
What needs to be added to the perfection of humanity in order to be seen? Are we not perfect simply standing bare?
It is something I must confront in my own artistry. I am a director with a profound appreciation for aesthetic. What am I without it?
