Tito had contacted me to do an ambient act for the first Hellhole on both days (Sat and Sun, Halloween weekend).
I had prepared a series of moves to slowly space out over 15 minutes. The first night was more improvised and experimental (and we had light rain, and it was outside! — I was very worried about my ability to grip in the rain), so it was a bit stressful, but by night two I had developed a full multicordes act that started with me crawling from behind the billboard above SF Oasis and climbing up the cordes, then having the rigger descend me as I thrashed around to Lingua Ignota. I then wrapped myself in the full length of my cordes and crawled up on the wall looking over the crowd to lots of enthusiasm.
This was my first time performing for a drag audience and it was extremely rewarding to hear crowd’s energy and feedback (having usually performed for more academic or critical audiences).
