Am I Good?

Am I Good? explores the personal and social need to be good. It asks who or what is the measure of goodness and success. The piece tests the boundaries of consent between performers and audience by experimenting with how violent the need for a satisfying answer can be.

A woman with dark curly hair in a creamy corset opens the door. The audience enter the room to see another woman - a mirror image of the first sitting on a stool looking out a window with her back to the audience. The first woman finds audience members willing to pull on the corset strings of the sitting one. How well will they do and how good will she be?
