Taylor invented dinosaur-loving, bike riding, tuna pasta-eating, alternative pop star Catherine Bennett, Bryony promised to embody her, do everything that Taylor told her to, and get her famous -- like super famous! This is their show: expect heavy weaponry and matching Laura Ashley outfits. For fans of seemingly impossible feats, shouting from rooftops and sticking up for the little folk. 520 $a Inspired by the lack of positive role models for young people in the popular media and the increasing hypersexualization and objectification of tweens (7-11 year olds), performance artist Bryony Kimmings teamed up with her nine-year-old niece Taylor to invent pop star "Catherine Bennett." With Kimmings inhabiting the character of Bennett and Taylor acting as her career manager, the idea is to produce and explore the influence of a role model created by a nine-year-old for nine-year-olds. Part social experiment, part theater show, Kimmings aims to make this role model famous by manipulating the celebrity-manufacturing methods used by the music PR industry. 650 0 $a Role models $v Drama. 650 0 $a Preteens $v Drama. 650 7 $a Role models. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01099622 655 7 $a Drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423879 830 0 $a Oberon modern plays. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171228035200.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D81083EAB7211E4A1AC46C0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
