Milwaukee, WI—May 19, 2023— TRIP/syck is a collection of intimate studio showings collaboratively presented by New York transplant and queer disability activist April Biggs – she/her, local anti-disciplinary maintenance artists Posy Knight – she/they (Danceteria, 2021; Winterreise, 2020) and Zeze Schorsch – they/them (Wisdom Teeth, 2018; Thunder Domestic, 2021), and singer/songwriter Forrest Jackson – he/him. TRIP/syck will take audiences on an interactive journey exploring coping mechanisms and art making with audio/visual, physical, technological and therapeutic elements in three parts; Sick Girl, a Milwaukee premiere by April Biggs, is an autoethnographic and interdisciplinary solo, exploring her disabled and medicalized body as a site of chimeric world-breaking and world-making – a cyborg bodymind imagining itself into a wingèd creature; BIOPIC, a satirical one-woman award show created by Schorsch with performer Selena Milewski – she/her; and Afternoon of a Fawning, inspired by the evolution of choreographic process from the birth of modernism to post-pandemic zoom dance.
