Anna Azizzy and Unicorns in the Snow (Julia Vering) are touring together with a duo of solo multimedia performances featuring interactive video projections, personal narrative, and the absurd.

Anna Azizzy is a Pittsburgh based performance artist and experimental musician premiering their new piece, "Pretty Dog Pop Star: A Day in the Life of a Beautiful Dog." Thrash along with Pretty Dog as they do their best to uphold the four pillars of DBT: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation. Will they calm their rage? Or will Pretty Dog go down as a one hit wonder? The piece is an homage to Pretty Dog, the star of many comics and illustrations made by Azizzy while in in/outpatient psychiatric care. http://www.annaazizzy.com

Julia Vering (Unicorns in the Snow) is a Kansas City based performance artist, clinical social worker and expressive arts therapist. She will perform "Re-Enactments," a multimedia performance art piece featuring adults with dementia as actors. Vering worked with the actors to come up with moments from our lives that could be “re-enacted” using a true crime tv show format-such as someone doing the dance to “footloose” on their daughter’s bed to cheer them up. The psychedelic musical features Vering re-enacting events alongside the actors with dementia via video projection. Vering hopes to engage both the audience and collaborators in meaning-making and to inspire further collaborations with individuals with neurocognitive differences. https://unicornsinthesnow.com
