“Skins I Have Worn” is a glimpse into the lives of women who have taken refuge in a women’s shelter for domestic violence. At times the characters are anchored in reality and, at other times, in poetry and myth. Revealed through words and dance, this performance explores their journey through the dark lands: how love becomes obsession; how lovers and fathers betray them; and how some find their way to forgiveness and freedom.
The following year, I took what had become the play and transformed the words into a book of poetry, and with that closing the door on this chapter of my life.
