HOW TO KEEP UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS

Our fearless examination of an individual's relationship to themselves in a Kardashian infused plumped up world.

In a culture of abnormal aesthetic values, its entanglement in our everyday existence is making beauty standards more dangerous and impossible than ever before. 

Based on interviews with women and non-binary people aged 5-60 and the personal experiences of the performers, this is a dance party protest about shaking our asses to the rhythm of our own drums, reclaiming power by redefining beauty and confronting the ugly truth of our obsession with perfection. The performance has been collaboratively devised and collectively written blending verbatim, movement, monologue, lip-syncing, dance numbers and original song.
