Not Just For the Kids: Playful Art, Neotribes, and the Process of Legitimization

“I want to put on a production of Annie that has lots of ugly orphans and cute

dinosaurs in it. I want to audition and get cast as Annie. I will dispute my decision to

have my character eaten off by a dinosaur but I will lose that fight, and my

tragic death scene will be so touching that it will propel the show straight to

Broadway and Whoopi Goldberg will see it and ask me if she can sing on my next

record.”Kimya Dawson on how she wants to spend the new year, in

Scene Missing Magazine, January 2005
