Follow Her Smiling is a seven-minute satire; that explores power, perception, and femininity through theatricality and physicality. Set to La Donna è mobile and Janis Joplin’s Cry Baby, the piece plays with contrast and contradiction.
The dancer subverts the narrative at every turn, using movement to assert stability, explosiveness, and above all, irreverence. Rather than arguing with the singer, she plays with him—dismantling the text through physical clarity and wit.
The piece doesn’t explain; it shows. It’s a quiet act of defiance that doesn’t need to be discussed—only witnessed. Through humor and power, Follow Her Smiling challenges the gaze and reclaims the frame.
