HOW TO EARN YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES!
An Evolution from Visual Art to a Theatrical Play
Moe is now embarking on an exciting new chapter with HOW TO EARN YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES: The Coming-of-Age Story That Never Ends. This innovative project represents a significant evolution from her visual art practice into the realm of stage performance. The project combines scenery, music, dance, and poetry to explore profound themes of self-trust, self-worth, healing, and boundary-setting. Developed through residencies at La Napoule Art Foundation in France and Friend of a Friend Gallery in Denver, the performance promises a rich, engaging, and transformative narrative.
HOW TO EARN YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES tells the compelling story of a love affair between a big sister and herself. Through destructive behavior that sparks a journey across the Y2K universe, she searches for the mythical “Big Girl Panties” with no map or guidance. Along the way, she discovers that her younger sister, inspired by her example, is also ready to embark on this quest. Yet, as the journey unfolds, it becomes clear that the big sister’s own path is fraught with uncertainties, revealing a quest for healing and self-love. This narrative, rich with nuance and universality, will be brought to life through a captivating blend of scenery, music, dance, and poetry.
