My Anxiety: A Work In Progress
I’m like a living comic book. I create drawings as receptacles for my anxiety; I get anxious that people won’t get it, so I have to perform with the drawings to make sure my anxiety is properly represented. It’s an endless cycle. And you get to watch it happen.
William Doan has created solo performance projects at a variety of venues across the U.S., and abroad. His current work includes a new play, Drifting, which received a workshop at Dixon Place Theatre in New York, March 2015, and three graphic narratives in the Annals of Internal Medicine/Graphic Medicine. Doan shared the earliest work from his Anxiety Project in the Dixon Place Lounge in November of 2016, titled A Brief Anatomy of My Anxiety.
Psyche
This performance features the Greek myth of Cupid and Psyche intertwined with a contemporary story of first love gone awry, all written in rhyming couplets and prose.The boundaries between both stories shift and disappear, revealing striking parallels relevant to the complexities of modern relationships.
