Dirty Secret II

Credits: 4-channel surround musical score by Brian Wenner

‘Dirty Secret II’ is an expansive 2-hr durational performance and installation piece that took place on September 26, 2019 at The Invisible Dog Art Center in Brooklyn, New York. The piece was a collaboration with visual artist and performer Brian Andrew Whiteley alongside performers Peter Clough, Jason Derek North and Christopher Stout.

The performance features an original 3 hour multichannel score that plays throughout the duration of the entire evening and performance. The soundtrack varies from subtle ambience to pounding industrial techno and enhances the improvisational and chaotic movements of the performers. The performance also encompasses multichannel projections on 3 separate surfaces and live tattooing by artist Jonny Gomez.

‘Dirty Secret II’ is a continuation and expansion on the performance piece ‘The Awakening’ that happened in May of 2019 and aims to focus on the theme of gender fluidity in conjunction with personal and mental struggle and instability.
