I had such a wonderful time going on as Mlle. Bouvier in ANATOLE at Imagination Stage! This was the first time I’ve ever understudied a part for the stage, and I had a blast. You do learn so much watching, but when you have to go up there and nail every mark…woo boy! What a whirlwind. It all happened so fast. With all the quick changes, and one wig mishap, I’d say overall it went really quite wonderfully! My cast mates were all very supportive and encouraging. This entire repertoire process has been so rewarding; I made a lot of great new people I’m happy to call friends. Please enjoy some funny photos of me as a mouse! :) https://laurenfarnell.com/news/2019/1/3/striking-12-review monthly 0.5 2019-01-03 https://laurenfarnell.com/news/2018/8/3/god-is-dead-aprils-getting-married-review monthly 0.5 2018-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0ca4492aeba5975d4fa9eb/1533303848426-26W2EPLON8ZQDV5QVVA3/godisdead.png News - God is Dead & April's Getting Married Review https://laurenfarnell.com/news/2018/3/23/undone-musicaltheatre-senior-capstone-2018 monthly 0.5 2018-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0ca4492aeba5975d4fa9eb/1521839811023-I0QBBX843FSNM5S7YJN7/11218540_1543362729046770_2021434572712560087_o.jpg News - Un/done - Musical/Theatre Senior Capstone 2018 - Un/done Come see the AU Theatre department seniors in a completely self-generated piece tackling ideas from Homer's iconic The Odyssey.

Puerto Rican global reggaetón superstar Bad Bunny has skyrocketed in fame over the last few years for his clever lyrics, danceable dem bow beats, and his genderfluid style. He has performed in traditionally “female” clothes, worn nail polish and eye makeup, and kissed men on the international stage, but has never named his queer identity explicitly. Many of his critics have taken to the internet to call him a “queer baiter;”[1] or performing a “fake” kind of queerness because he is not out. Queer baiting discourses like this thrive on essentialist, representational notions of queerness fueled by homonormativity[2] and white, neo-imperial respectability politics that do not count for the illegible or undetermined. This thesis wonders how homonormative queer politics from the US; particularly discourses on demands for outness and legibility, are imposed on all global subjects, particularly on Black and brown bodies from the Caribbean. I aim to tackle the contemporary debates surrounding racialized minoritarian subjects from the reggaetón genre who are constantly caught in discourses of “too queer” for their home countries, or “not queer enough” for white, queer, American audiences. These artists I examine are negotiating queerness, frequently under colonial or neo-imperial rule, and pushing the boundaries of American homonormativity and obsession with “outness.” Utilizing methods from performance, queer, and Latine and Caribbean studies, I argue that we need new understandings of what it means to be queer. I argue that queerbaiting rhetoric does not produce inclusive ideals of queer futurity on a global scale, but these artists performing their versions of queerness move us toward new definitions of queerness that are truly inclusive. Using case studies from the reggaetón genre of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, I argue that performances by Bad Bunny, Tokischa, and Ivy Queen redefine how we come to understand our own queerness, expansive and intersectional queer futures, and how we understand the most popular global music genre.
