LIFE OF THE PARTY TOUR

with poet Olivia Gatwood with Ari Chi and special guest Cailin Nolte.

​

In Fall 2019, I traveled across North America performing with Olivia Gatwood for her Life of the Party Tour. This tour focused on her new book of the same name. 

​

Lauded for the power of her writing and having attracted an online fan base of millions for her extraordinary spoken-word performances, Olivia Gatwood now weaves together her own coming-of-age with an investigation into our culture’s romanticization of violence against women. At times blistering and riotous, at times soulful and exuberant, Life of the Party explores the boundary between what is real and what is imagined in a life saturated with fear. Gatwood asks, How does a girl grow into a woman in a world racked by violence? Where is the line between perpetrator and victim? In precise, searing language, she illustrates how what happens to our bodies can make us who we are.
