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.
