Smutek Dance
'I'm Generally Miserable
Smutek Dance is a Detroit based freelance dance company, directed by Christa Smutek, established in 2019. Smutek Dance has performed at various festivals throughout the country, including WhiteWave SoloDuo Festival NYC, CDCFest Orlando, World of Dance, and Detroit Dance City Festival. Smutek Dance was the DDCF, Best Choreography winner 2021. Her film, Unchained, was awarded Festival Favorite, Newbie Filmmaker, in Opine Dance Film Festival 2020. Her films have been selected finalists in Screendance International, Dancentric Film Festival, and Cinedanza.
I’m Generally Miserable is based on the personal life of Hollywood icon, Marilyn Monroe. It explores feelings of doubt, sadness, loneliness, and the need to create a facade of joy to hide those persistent internal struggles. In modern society, people obsessively present themselves in the best and most unrealistic way. This solo compares and contrasts these two vastly different sides of Marilyn Monroe, and how it ultimately effects her mental state.
