This autobiographical, coming-of-age solo show tells the story of Alexandria, a young woman who begins to grapple with her innate sensuality from an early age.
Presented in four life stages from childhood to womanhood, A Date With My Wild culminates in a climactic evening that forces Alexandria to reconstruct her relationship with her mind, body, spirituality, and even her own mother.
Follow along on this bold, heartfelt, sometimes comical journey that awakens Alexandria’s bodily sensations (the good, the bad, and the ugly) and ultimately reconnects her with young, wild “Spice Girls” dancing self.
Alexandria Rengifo weaves her multi-faceted career in writing, design, improvisation, and facilitation to create moving experiences for diverse audiences. She’s been exploring autobiographical storytelling and improvisational performance since 2015, and is now premiering her first solo show in NYC. She holds a BA from Harvard University and an MDes from Chicago’s Institute of Design. She calls New York and anywhere-with-her-Colombian-family “home”.
