CHEEKY LaSHAE is an evolving performance work that weaves in and out of the familiar format of Karaoke - calling attention to the collaborative relationship between audience and performer in both music and the arts. CHEEKY is an enigmatic glittering alter ego that exists as a vessel to be embodied by a revolving cast of individuals. As the body is obscured by the sculptural elements of the costume, the audience will consider notions of proxy and proximity, as the performer(s) simultaneously becomes object, a white cube draped in shimmer, an intergalactic amoeba, the gender filled embodiment of our celestial origins and the glamorous remnants of The Big Bang personified. By evoking the history of drag performance, puppetry, model making kits and social media, I will use the structure of an online course, to perforate the boundaries between audience and performer.
