KISSING FRIENDS

2023

Kissing Friends is an intimate theatrical experience of storybook narrations spoken/created in collaboration with the cast. The movement and dialogue fold in and out of reality and daydreams inside the overarching container of friendship in relation to intimacy. The viewers will experience these stories, along with flashy movements in unison that will signify a strong sense of togetherness. Rituals will crescendo into an uproar to sounds by Noel Harrison, Celine Dion and several others. The audience might begin to ask themselves what's at stake for these performers? What is signified inside of an opening kiss? Singing, thrashing, yelling, slow-aborning affection, tensions running high and eruptive meltdowns take us to a place far from reality, a dreamland for chosen family.

Trailer created and filmed by Bek Martin

In September, Kissing Friends premiered in a 4-show run in at Philadelphia’s Fringe Arts Festival, with support from the Cannonball Festival. Immediately following PhillyFringe, Sheer was back in NYC to share Kissing Friends for Evolution Dance Festival at The Center at West Park’s Sanctuary Space, curated by Nick J. Browne, Haruna Lee, and Sloan Pearson.
