Mira Fuchs - Q&A by Arts House - Listening Program published on 2016-11-14T03:46:25Z This postshow Q&A was recorded on 9/6/16 Mira Fuchs is an expert. An expert private dancer. She’s also the public face of artist Melanie Jame Wolf’s eight-year private life as a stripper in a gentleman’s club. Mira wants to dance you through the myriad questions and contradictions of her work, that time and her world. In an intimate, in-the-round work, Wolf speaks, prances and twists her way through an abstracted memoir that trips between lap-danceand body politics. With humour, high heels and deep insight, she fashions a looking glass for our own reflections on the work of stripping. Leave your preconceptions with the coat-check and step into an oft-hidden economy of desire and exchange. Both entertaining and unflinchingly personal, MIRA FUCHS explores sexuality, gender, performance, intimacy, dance-as-labour, looking and being looked at, and pleasure, in a world where money is timeand timing is everything.
