• Complete program Playlist New York

»its not a thing is an anti-theatrical solo performance problematizing trends in contemporary performance. With the work gaskin poses questions around the ‘multifarious nature of care and opacity.’ (...) undermines the roles of performer and spectator challenging our rules of engagement. The work is a punk gesture. It is not your typical theatrical experience and that is the point.« Ben Pryor, Curator American Realness, New York

»... no matter how hard keyon gaskin tries to make the performance not a thing, “its not a thing” is somehow the most captivating thing in town.«  Jamie Hale, The Oregonian

»Gaskin holds together a deliriously bizarre persona, swinging wildly from demanding action on the part of the audience to desperately pleading for it, from posturing bravado to shaking vulnerability, and from slapstick to self-harm.«  Thomas Ross, The Portland Mercury
