Farmhouse/Whorehouse had it’s New York debut as part of Brooklyn Academy of Music’s 2017 Next Wave Festival, and has been performed at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, Ohio; UCLA Center for the Art of Performance, Los Angeles; Pulitzer Arts Foundation, St. Louis, Missouri; Site Santa Fe, New Mexico; The Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, and the CounterCurrent Festival in Houston, among others.
