Through stylized physical theater, acting and mime, Joan Merwyn portrays a range of characters and archetypal conditions with entertaining abstraction, humor, and a flare for the absurd. Her innovative sound scores integrate world music, jazz, classical, funk, original text and sound effects into her creations. Her work is a weaving of visceral, theatrical and audio imagery, exploring social, cultural and personal thematic material.

The show will metaphorically explore the connections between the causes and effects of wars on both domestic and international territories: Native America, Afghanistan , Vietnam, Middle East, BLM movement vs. white supremacy, and more. Excerpts of DISSENT! will be made available for online formats.
