Hair, Hemlines, and Husbands

Flashback to my piece from fyoo zh en'16, which started with small ideas in my head and grew to become more than I could've ever imagined on stage!

HAIR, HEMLINES, AND HUSBANDS is a dance performance featuring original choreography and music by faculty and students at Baldwin Wallace University. The pieces are inspired by Professor Barb Palmer's research on the history of women running for public office. While women have made tremendous progress in the political arena, the one thing that has not changed in 100 years is the media, which is still obsessed with "the three H's:" hair, hemlines, and husbands.
