Project Overview

The MORAL PANIC series

live art / spoken word / choreography / performance art / naked / sound

In times of social upheaval and societal change, women’s bodies become the target for pearl-clutching and knicker-twisting. I have no time for your Moral Panic, women’s bodies and women’s sexual agency is not a platform across which you must enact your politics.

Please visit Virginia’s MORAL PANIC website for more information.

A Pesky Upstart

Bludging all your CNZ money

Were you smitten?

Taking up space

I’m sorry about your fragile masculinity

Feminising space

Won’t fucking shut up

Look at what you’re wearing

That damn chair

Yes those are my undies. Would you like some gin? [Working title: The gin and undies dance]

Get the fuck away from me

Fuck your femme shaming

But whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Stop stomping on my body for your revolution

Capitalism and sex

Millenials can’t have nice things if they want to buy a house

Minimalism will not solve capitalism

There is not such thing as ethical consumption

My body is not anyone’s property

Sex work and commodity fetishism

Sex work IS work

#sorrynotsorry

You don’t own me

I am allowed to own objects

My frivolity will not hurt the Cause
