Created + Performed by Becca Hoback
A series of solos that explore the harmful effects of purity culture.
Full-length performance work-in-progress.
Originally raised within conservative Christian purity culture in the American Midwest, Hoback is confronting how that history has shaped her relationship to her body and is countering those teachings by exploring physical emotionality, empowerment, and sensuality within her work.
“In my movement practice, I delve into the complicated emotions caused by the negative impacts of purity culture. Through my work, I explore the hidden struggles and complexities that arise from societal expectations and the pressure to conform to an idealized idea of purity. By embodying these experiences, I aim to shed light on the toll they take on one’s sense of self, personal growth, and body-relationship. My movement serves as a medium to process and challenge these harmful norms, inviting audiences to engage in a dialogue about the importance of embracing authenticity and breaking free from the constraints of a culture that stifles individuality.”
