“Spanky” is a devised choreo-play that wrestles with issues of identity, family, and queer love. Dramaturgically grounded in stories from my tía Patricia’s life, this performance draws on dance, theater, and performance art practices to examine the experiences of Latina lesbians in the 1970s and 80s.
