Electric Blue is a dance-theater installation inspired by radical queer thought-provoking literary icon

Allen Ginsberg. A meditation on creative agency and censorship, Electric Blue celebrates past and

present LGBTQ resilience in pursuit of artistic freedom. The artists deploy personal reflections to

underscore how the experiences of the individual, the artist, and their community are inevitably

bound together, hinting at the potential for collective action. Taking Ginsberg’s writing defined as

pornographic literature when first published, the collective examines the author’s controversial

poetry reflecting on same-sex love and male bonding. Integrating artistic disciplines, the project is

devised in collaboration with three solo performing artists: singer/dancer ALEXA GRÆ,

dancer/storyteller Joey Kipp, and performance artist/storyteller Daniel Diaz.
