Aspiration: Housewife is an evening length dance theatre piece about femininity and ambition. In a world where plastic makes perfect and happiness is just a new appliance away, these women should be completely satisfied. So why aren't they?
Aspiration: Housewife premiered at FringeNYC in August 2006.
What people are saying:
"Aspiration Housewife is more than just a play with a beautiful flow of dialogue and dance, and amazing musical selections. Choreographer Jessica Bonenfant has created in this piece a dazzling world...The set is beautiful and inviting...plastic smiles and sometimes-robotic movements give the piece an almost-sci-fi feel...Aspiration Housewife is lovely and smart. There's no right way to use an iron—or meat mallet. Theatre has been yearning for a play like this for a long time. This play is the goods."

Again, congratulations on putting together a terrific show. As always, you have a clear, specific movement language that even a layman like me can get into, and a sense of emotional arc that’s lacking in too much of the modern dance I’ve worked on.
