IT KUST HAVE BEEN LOVE"
Ann Hirsch
ANN HIRSCH will be workshopping a new performance piece that reflects upon her time spent on Vh1's reality dating show Frank the Entertainer...In a Basement Affair. Built upon a more traditional theatre structure, the piece appropriates actual dialogue from the show and represents it in a way that further dramatizes the love affair shared between Hirsch and Frank the Entertainer. Ann Hirsch is a video and performance artist based in New York. Her work engages with the contemporary portrayal of women in media.
