Bonnie wheres/wears clyde

Bonnie Where’s/Wears Clyde is a performance and film work that challenges traditional ideas of masculinity and identity. Rooted in Black and queer experiences, it examines what is hidden, performed, and protected, using “Clyde” as a metaphor for absence and expectation. Commissioned, presented, and produced by Miami Light Project the work builds an immersive world where identity is constantly shifting and redefined.

she said

She Said is an immersive performance work that moves through ritual, memory, and rupture. Framed within the structure of a wedding, the piece exposes the quiet negotiations between power, devotion, and identity. What begins as ceremony shifts into confrontation, where voices emerge, fracture, and reclaim space, placing the audience inside the experience as both witness and participant.

Dont move

Don’t Move explores the tension between movement and restriction through the lens of immigration and surveillance.

The audience is situated within the work, asked to remain still as bodies shift around and through them. In this shared space, proximity becomes pressure, and stillness becomes a condition shaped by fear, authority, and the need to survive.

Moments of touch, dependence, and resistance unfold between performer and audience, revealing the weight of being seen, held, or denied movement.
