Description
xYou are ushered by your own desire into the belly of our collective dreaming. She is in-situ, waiting, being, exposed. Even venery has its triangulations. If you mix the pigments yourself the colors will be more vibrant--and still, don't you long for a clarion call? I'm going to read to you for a while, and you're going to like it, yes? Turn taking is a part of the game. I want you to eat it. Eat it all.
MILFFEEDSBABYDEER100%Real is a transdisciplinary work intersecting with Dance, Theatre, Performance, Music, and Sculpture generated by a multidisciplinary ensemble led by Marcela Michelle. Taking inspiration from Divisionism, Critical and Queer Theories, Kink Play, and the network of experimental performance being made in the Twin Cities, the work is an exercise in scaffolding for ensemble and is curious about reorienting its named relationship to its makers, be they on the stage or in the audience. Border, boundary, discipline, medium, frame, role, position, vantage, viewpoint, yes, no, no but yes, yes but no, I'll do it for you, I like that you like it. The Book is a script, a collection of scores, collected writings on and around the work, and archival images of previous performances.

By Marcela Michelle
xMarcela Michelle is a transdisciplinary artist, educator, facilitator, and producer living and working primarily on the occupied and ancestral Dakota land colonially known as the Twin Cities. She is the former Artistic Director of 20% Theatre Company and is currently the Executive Artistic Director of Lightning Rod--a QTPOC-led arts organization focused on legacy, development, and opportunity for QTGNC Artists and Activists. Marcela's work frequently deals with the simultaneity of being and the malleability of identities, informed in part by her ever-shifting childhood growing up in Texas, her foster care experiences in the midwest, her Afro-indigenous Chicanx heritage, and her queer transgender being. Marcela's work spans genres and disciplines, touching theatre, dance, music, design, cabaret, burlesque, culinary arts, and performance art. Her practice is meditative, repetitive, literary, architectural, and spherical, usually devising work after deep periods of ongoing research. She is a 2019 Mentee of the National Institute for Directing and Ensemble Creation (Pangea World Theater, Art2Action) and a member of Actor's Equity. Marcela is grateful to have recently worked with Emily Gastineau (PRRRRRR {Hot Theory}, MOVO Space), Valerie Oliveiro (Soft Freedoms, Cowles Center for Dance), Wanderlust Productions (Lost and Found, Raspberry Island), Walker Art Center (Choreographer's Evening 2021), Rough Magic Performance Company (Anne Carson's Norma Jean Baker of Troy, The Train Shed; The Tempest Project Podcast), 20% Theatre Company + Lightning Rod (Brujeria for Beginners by Keila Anali Saucedo, Mixed Blood Theater), and Hope Communities (TRCSTR Cohort 2022, Dreamsland). Upcoming projects include Maddie Granlund's By the Glimmer of a Half-Extinguished Light in February, and Alexandra Bodnarchuck's Rock, Paper, Scissors in March, both at the Southern Theater.
