Last Gasp WFH is a series of verbal and physical essays in which a house becomes a stage for the experience of sheltering in place, serving both as an intimate capsule of sequestered time and an apt reflection on the precarious nature of our bodies and the planet we call home (for more info click event image).Created by Peggy Shaw and Lois Weaver of Split Britches in collaboration with Vivian Stoll, Nao Nagai, and Morgan Thorson.In the wake of cancelled performances, Lois Weaver and Peggy Shaw of Split Britches were keen to maintain momentum for their new live work Last Gasp while having to ‘work from home.’ Last Gasp WFH was developed in a site-specific Zoom format using their quarantine-home as a structural visual anchor. A house becomes a stage for the experience of sheltering in place, serving both as an intimate capsule of sequestered time and an apt reflection on the precarious nature of our bodies and the planet we call home.Experimenting with new ways of making and finding joy in a pandemic Split Britches collaborated with lighting and video designer and editor Nao Nagai, sound designer and composer Vivian Stoll, and choreographer Morgan Thorson to create a new format for performance that could be shared from a time of quarantine. Playing with the fragility of technology, particularly the unpredictability of Zoom, the team found new avenues to the classic Split Britches aesthetic of broken down theatrical conventions, exposing the self on stage.written and performed by PEGGY SHAW and LOIS WEAVER of SPLIT BRITCHESdirected by Lois Weaversound by Vivian Stollchoreography by Morgan Thorsonvideo design and editing by Nao Nagai
