“Gig Night” is a second-person retelling of several incidents I have personally encountered while performing electronic music as a woman in various underground nightlife spaces in both LA and Chicago. My intention is to portray the complexities of gendered interactions where alcohol is involved as well as the frustrating expectations of female self-expression and fetishization in music tech spheres. To do so, I’ve created a series of choices that will take the player through scenarios of inevitable discomfort and fear, as well as the resulting intrinsic joy from sharing one’s individual craft. I hope to solicit nuanced feelings as I complicate narratives surrounding the marginalization of women and rape culture while providing the unfiltered happiness that many of us decide is worth the uncomfortable social navigations otherwise.
