M.U.V.E.,
2004
In June 2004, Devil Bunny along with artistic collaborator
SpaceSuperStar's
Owner Heather Cox Carducci premiered a movement and
sound based performance piece incorporating fitness
props as metaphors to address empowerment at the level
of love, physicality, spirituality, and creativity.
This performance was part of a larger evening featuring
video, sound, fashion and performance based work by
queer, API, mixed race, and Latina female artists. M.U.V.E.
(Movement Uninhibited Violating Everything) was curated
and organized by Gigi and Heather, and produced by (a)eromestiza
(the organization for which Gigi serves as Artistic
Director), the United States of Asian America, the National
Queer Arts Festival, and the Queer Latino/a Artists
Coalition(QueLACo), with funding from the Zellerbach
Family Fund, the Astraea Lesbian Foundation, and the
Horizons Foundation. Other participating artists included
Eliza Barrios, Melissa Dougherty, Ixta Lagos, emael,
Jenifer Wofford; Fashion by Marilyn Yu and Jenny Hacker.
In
2004 and 2005, Gigi and Heather went on to perform excerpts
from their performance at M.U.V.E. at El Museo del Barrio
(New York, NY), The L-Fest (Portland, OR) and El Museo
del Chopo (Mexico City).
