Tunnel Vision Video Release

As you may remember, a few years ago I began working with SExT: Sex Education by Theatre, as their choreographer & movement director. Thanks to their incredible director, Shira Taylor, I have had the immense privilege of continuing to work with the cast over the years to continue developing the choreography & revisiting their powerful production.

This fall was really special, as SExT - in partnership with The Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research (CANFAR) - made music videos for two of their original songs. The first, Bodak Consent, plays on Cardi B's epic summer hit Bodak Yellow, & teaches the concept of consensual sexual behaviour. The second video was Tunnel Vision (featured below), an original song with lyrics written & performed by SExT cast member, Mary Getachew. It's based on her personal experience with, & journey healing from, intimate partner violence. It was tough for me to choreograph a duet that embodied the challenges of this relationship & I am so grateful to Mary for inspiring me with her courage & entrusting me with helping to tell her story. The video was released on November 24th 2018, in honour of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
