I'm collaborating as a DJ with interactive installation artist Casey Droege and poet Christine Choi for COME TO OUR PARTY, DRESS IN WHITE, part of the Trespass artist-in-residence series at Future Tenant.
Thursday August 11th
8:00-11:00
Come to Our Party, Dress in White
a project of Casey Droege and Christine Choi
Future Tenant
819 Penn Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA
What moves you? Song drives movement—to feel, nod, shake, congregate, celebrate. How do dance lyrics function when lifted from their song-nested context and displayed apart as visual rather than auditory? How does this cognizance influence our moves/movement or tinge the dynamic of the party?
Come to our (dance) party, dress in white—LITERALLY. DJs Mary Mack, Drop That, and Square Peg will be in effect along with curious projections. Gesture-input poetry, lively investigation and laughter.
What are we communicating, exactly, in text that reflects movement? How is it collectively performed? Come help us find out.

This party is an ongoing performative/collaborative effort between Casey Droege and Christine Choi. Through performances of text, we draw attention to the physical act of human communication—voice, gesture—in wake of a rampantly digitizing culture where we are richly assaulted with information. We are interested in exploring/hybridizing new ways to engage with public audiences and COME TO OUR PARTY, DRESS IN WHITE celebrates the temporary communities that such live messaging creates.
