White Pill, No Pill: A Solo Performance of My Own Design

Abstract

White Pill, No Pill is a short film that looks at the question of choice. The thesis’s question starts from a sincere question of my own existence, and why my mom made the choice to bear me into this world. The intention of the piece is to look at two different perspectives of choice from one woman. The thesis hopes to look at how one woman’s choice of having a child, or not having a child would so alter her life. With the use of a few pills, a women could continue her career and single life, or by doing nothing, forever alter her life’s trajectory.
