Last Call

by Natalie Gotter

Last Call is a multidisciplinary dance work developed by Natalie Gotter. With a soft premiere at the Going Dutch Festival in 2022, this work has been described as poignant and timely with a sense of deflective and defensive humor.This dance performance experience is a work that investigates perceptions, expectations, and embodiment of femme experiences in different iterations of night life . Who sets the rules of femininity and whose voices are heard in spaces of risk-taking? What is the process of letting go of the rules, and is it ever possible to do so in a way without larger repercussions? Follow Cynthia, who is she?, through a collage of undoing, becoming, and realizing under the lights of the night. Last Call has been partially funded by Muhlenberg College's Summer Faculty Research grant and has been supported by residency at Mascher Space Collective.
