This essay proffers the author’s 2018 staged production of Gloryfire in the HopKins Black Box Theatre as a case study in the staging of experimental mop water performance. Mop water performance is a creative and embodied method of critical inquiry that animates feminist and queer storytelling, poetry, and polemic on the stage. Drawing from the author’s directorial and devising experience, this essay offers dirty mop water as a theoretically informed arts-based qualitative practice within queer performance studies.
