In the year preceding this performance, Lauren Bakst has been looking at her life as an object of study. This practice has inevitably transformed her life into a kind of fiction or theater, and it is this theater from which More Problems with Form emerges.

Studying her own performances inside of pre-existing forms, in which she has at times played the roles of wife, woman, dancer, audience member, analysand, and many others, Lauren asks: when does performing, in life and on stage, make space for the unwieldy contradictions of living and desiring, and when does it hold things, like bodies, people, and ideologies, in place?

Oscillating between the live and the pre-recorded, Lauren moves her voice and her “I” around. The work includes many multiples of Lauren, sometimes played by herself and sometimes by others in a series of videos featuring her fellow group therapy members, her lover, and her mother.
