White Noise pulls from Leslie’s research about the history and mechanism of life insurance, specifically the commodification and value of Black lives. Manipulating movement, text, and video into choreographic gestures, she builds a collection of artifacts to guide her towards a larger project titled For All Your Life, an ongoing performance and social experiment.
