Embarrassed Naked Female (this show contains nudity)

A lecture-performance following a stolen video down the rabbit hole of internet creeps. The true story of five nude minutes sparking years of obsessive sharing, bizarre commentary, and surreal online encounters. A darkly humorous dive into consent in the digital age. 

In 2020, during the first Covid lockdown, I made my solo show "The Sensemaker" temporarily available online.
Strangely, the video quickly became highly sought-after in certain corners of the internet — all because of the five minutes of nudity it contains. Years later, I’m still having to take it down from various adult forums where it keeps resurfacing without my consent.
In trying to track where it had been shared, I stumbled into a bizarre world of posts and comments.
Let me read you a few.
