The National Coin Shortage
John Dorhauer
One of the lesser effects of COVID-19 was a national coin shortage. This exacerbated a trend away from coins, which has broader implications on the evolving perception of value in society. “The National Coin Shortage” encourages audience members to participate in the performance through a provided supply of coins and a series of indeterminate rhythmic gestures, thus creating a communal experience that finds beauty in something perceived to have lost value.
