my feet in agony
listen to my bones crack....
when i was trying on the pointe shoes i eventually bought, the sales woman said that young girls often complain about the discomfort of pointe shoes, that they hurt, that they don't feel like they fit. she tells them that that's what they're supposed to feel like, that dance en pointe is supposed to be painful. in the video i'm taking off and throwing away my stilettos and subsequently squeeze my feet into pointe shoes - both symbols for feminine sexuality, both associated with discomfort and women's traditional roles in society.
