Good Boy is a retrospective solo movement piece that takes a candid look into the erotics of my life, sifting through memories of hookups, formative sexual experiences, and substance abuse in search of authenticity in the intimate. The movement is set to a recorded interview between myself and two Smith College research psychologists studying gay men’s relationships to hook-up apps and sexual health practices. The work includes explicit content around casual/anonymous sex and drug use. Ultimately, Good Boy is my attempt to process and release these experiences by embodying them in artistic practice. Hopefully, it will inspire audiences to question their own authenticity, sexual and otherwise.
