another artist after my own brain
Julie Devaney performs "My Leaky Body", a one-woman show about her experiences in the health care system, ER visits, diagnosis, and treatment for Ulcerative Colitis. She turned those experiences into a Master's Thesis, and then this show, as well as workshops and talks for medical professionals, and on and on.
The positive response around this, and the increasing number of artists and work I see addressing these issues, make me feel like my preoccupations are not so insane after all. Well or ill, we forget our bodies, we are disconnected, we see them as a problem, a battle to be won, a thing to be mastered.
