No, the title is not misspelled. That is the name of this improvisational piece by choreographer Damon White,
of the Boogey Down Bronx.
Mr. White performs to phone messages left by people on his answering machine. When I saw the ad for this, I had to participate and left my message, titled "Shame On You," which can be heard on 5:17-5:23 and 6:94-7:02 My piece was inspired by a shameful and tragic case of child abuse in NY and is aimed at all those people who failed to respond to the needs of a child in danger.
Participants messages could be about anything. Some people sang, others made sounds and basically, one could do whatever they pleased.
It was quite interesting to hear and see and I was happily surprised to find that my piece was chosen for Mr. White's work. Most importantly, I was pleased because through Mr. White's work, I was able to communicate my frustration regarding the tragedy of child abuse and the shame of inaction that is so pervasive in our society.
Thank you, Mr. White.
