About The Line-Up
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 high 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.

Julia Vering 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.
