"No One Questions A Mountain" by Joyce Barbour & TJ Cole
"No One Questions A Mountain" by Joyce Barbour & TJ Cole
Collaborative performance piece with TJ Cole. Performed at the Chapel of St Philip Neri on 11/2/24. The piece was debuted at the TRAИƧA release party in Louisville, KY.
This piece explores the idea of what transgender bodies would be like in the natural world if they were shielded from social scrutiny. With this piece, we sought to answer what our lives would be like if we were seen as commonplace as a blade of grass or a blue sky. We imagined what if would be like to show up, just as we are, and exist amongst the other living things in our environment.
