JUST WIGS SWEATERS DOCS AND JOCKS
Dick Biter is a dance that mourns the death of punk while channeling its contemporary detritus. Using deconstructed drag movement, mylar fringe buttplugs, traffic cones and Fiona Apple's 1997 VMAs speech as a springboard, Dick Biter collages dance scores and texts to embody both the divine femme and butch, and propose a space for abrasive, seat-forward revelry.
Dick Biter premiered April 2024 at Pageant, with Bite Size iterations at Special Effects Festival @ Wild Project (2024), Prelude Festival @ Collapsable Hole (2023). and Pageant (2023 Gala)
