Camp Menses

Workshop supported by the Ontario Arts Council with a 2022 Theatre Creation Grant. In collaboration with Elm Reyes.

Camp Menses is a theatrical piece that follows a pair of teenagers at an overnight summer camp trying to cope with the traumatic experience of puberty and the early stages of menstruation. During a late-night campfire, they find themselves overtaken by nature, by each other, and by the moon cycles (in every sense of the term). The piece itself is an ‘episodic horror-comedy’ in Clown, combining the exaggerated gore of periods and puberty with elements of variety, monologue, and scene.
