‘I got the news bug early on in my life. When I was in 6th grade, I saved up all the money I earned from babysitting and bought a video camera so I could interview people and shoot video before summer vacation. I landed my first job in the media hosting a daily call in programme for a country music radio station, when I was in 8th grade.’
— Tiffany Murphy
Tiffany Murphy KFDM is a new performance about ME, Tiffany Murphy, and Tiffany Murphy — a blonde, beautiful and basic news anchor for KFDM in south-east Texas.
Expect a terrible American accent, a lot of desperation and FAKE NEWS in this new semi-autobiographical performance which explores success and feelings of failure resulting from abuse.
From cut-up constructed interviews between the two of us, ballads expressing my hatred of Tiffany Murphy and failed attempts at pirouettes, I use the other Tiffany as a vehicle to explore failure and trauma, as well as a means to question how to measure success within performance art.
Using live performance, video, manipulated sound and song this performance fuses live art, musical theatre and clowning, questioning what ‘good work’ is through two very different Tiffany Murphys.
