Embracing Problem Work or “Failure” as a Feminist Act and Education by Adrienne Truscott

Adrienne Truscott “is attracted to the possibility of failure as a mandate for rigor.”- Artist mission statement 

Adrienne Truscott, last seen at On the Boards as a part of SOLO: A Festival of Dance 2020, is a boundary busting choreographer, circus acrobat, dancer, writer, storyteller and comedian who has been making genre-straddling work for the last 20 years. Join Truscott as she gives a performance lecture about a show that has caused her nothing but trouble—from the humorously banal to the deeply consequential, both personally and professionally.  

At the time of its premiere, this show disrupted her confidence, professional standing, family relations and general well-being while also teaching her about her process, impulses and impulse control - perhaps more than any other show. This show has now garnered her both 4- star reviews and lost her a job and might be the best worst show she’s ever made.
