some life
Best Female Solo Performance Award at the 2004 San Francisco Fringe Festival
A different angle changes everything - any poolshark, fisherman, boxer, or helpless wayward bullet could tell you that.
A woman reflected in unexpected mirrors: black blondes and Harriet Tubman in Hollywood; a hard woman among
strong ones in a Queens hospital ward; the syzygy of Brancusi, clothespins, and Billie Holiday's smile; betrayal in a
stranger's bedroom; the morning after a drunken one night stand; Harvard and molar-sized diamonds at a Potrero Hill
BBQ; and one very industrious, very tiny little spider on her ceiling.
Directed by Emily Koch, written and performed by Mia Paschal, with lighting design by Curtis Overacre, some life will
show you 13 facets of a black woman in these United States: change your angle.
