Dance Nation is a fun, intense coming-of-age surrealist play about teenage girls on a competition dance team. We performed in a makeshift performance space, leading to challenges for almost every department. I also worked with stage blood, prosthetics, and intimacy for this show.
A performance of this show tested my training and ability to think on my feet when an audience member passed out at the sight of the stage blood. Luckily, as we had no real booth, I was close to the audience and, along with the house manager, able to facilitate medical care, keep cast and audience calm, and get the show running again.
