Half-Heard

 Half-Heard

Integrating dance, theatrical parody and architectural costume design, Half-Heard shows a satirized version of one woman’s struggle to be heard in the workplace. An all-female identifying — and at times, drag cast — opens a veritable Pandora’s box of the absurdity of gender roles and human behavior.

Half-Heard premiered at The Gerald W. Lynch Theater in 2019 as part of a residency and performance granted by CUNY Dance Initiative & John Jay College. Since then, the work has been presented by Roger Williams University for their ALIVE ARTS series in February 2020. Recently, Rocha received a grant from the US Embassy in Lisbon to perform the work alongside a student workshop residency in Sao Miguel, Azores this past April 2020. The residency has been postponed due to Covid-19.
