\"courtney_accel\"<\/a><\/strong>Every Night I Lose Control<\/em> is electronic post-modern cabaret act that explores the ideas of disintegration and failure. Every piece is designed so that the performer will fail. This show follows the trajectory of her attempts to regain balance and composure in the wreckage. A phenomenological exploration of how the loss of control over musical interface engenders different modes of embodied experience. Heavily influenced by tango, Weimar cabaret, and early goth rock, this work explores the danger of performance and ultimately exposes the vulnerabilities of its performer.<\/p>\n
