Cathy Mitchell stops shoulder pain with her great looking hair.

Program note

Cathy mitchell stops shoulder pain with her great looking hair explores late night, low budget infomercials and the absurd nature of their existence; From the frivolity of the products advertised to the not-quite-human performances of the salespeople and “real customers”. The performers are asked to do a variety of gestures, all of which are meant to be awkward and strange, paralleling the actions taken by the actors in the source infomercials. The awkwardness is heighted as the text becomes more disjunct throughout the piece.
