Description
Amanda Federico’s Honors Thesis Creative Project, The Cyberfem Experience, is a 38-minute technofeminist satire comedy show comprised of ten original sketches told within a synthesized multimedia format. The show opens a conversation on modern feminist issues by imagining and staging possible situations affecting women and other marginalized groups that may arise in time from the current state of our technology, cyberspace, and political climate. The Cyberfem Experience wields the approachable avenue of comedy to explore and demonstrate how technology might be utilized–within the industry, online communities, or through the design of technology itself–to perpetuate biases, harmful sexual fantasies, dangerous subgroup ideologies, and enforce roles/conditions of women in a patriarchal society.

I created a sketch comedy show called Funny For A Girl, which featured the talents of women in both the film and theatre communities. The show began as a very vague idea, and throughout the year of 2019, the show began to come to life. I immediately brought on a producer, who helped form the crew while I was working on building the cast. The writing process took about four months. There was lots of writing and rewriting, basically up until the end of August, when rehearsals started. Filming began in September, and by the last week of September, we had an entire show ready, consisting of nine sketches and four stand-up acts. The show featured a variety of sketches, including Lesbain Bachelorette and So You Want A Good Yelp Review? (SYWAGYR). The production team and I proposed the show to Binary Theatre Company, which picked it up as the first show of its season. The show ran in the Prism Theatre from October 4th through the 6th.
Funny For A Girl gained quite the following on social media in just a week, and the show was completely sold out before it even opened. I was interviewed by both The State Press and ASU Now, and I’m being considered for a second feature in ASU Now as part of the graduate spotlights. The show was a huge success, and it really helped me narrow down to what it is I want to do with my life.

For my honors thesis, I decided to do a creative project in the form of an extended comedy act. With this performance, I wanted to make jokes about my identity and experiences in my life while synthesizing the skills I had acquired over my college career. I decided I wanted to do this project because it felt like the best way to combine my passion (comedy) with my major (communication) in the form of a comedic performance study. And while I thought the performance would be the most informative aspect of my project, the workshop process ended up being far more enlightening. Through the workshop process, I was able to better understand the challenges that come with developing a comedic autoethnographic performance, and to discover the true purpose behind the art I was creating.

The Vermillion Comedic Anthology comprises of three works of fiction, each around fifteen pages in length. The stories were written throughout the course of Hunter Vermillion’s residency in the English: Creative Writing (Fiction) program at Arizona State University. The first story Study-a-Broad, was written in his capstone fiction class, while the second story Herald’s Horticulture was the first piece Hunter wrote in his first fiction class.
The content of these stories is edgy, humorous, satirical (unlike this abstract), and generally absurd—all this while retaining elements of realism. “Realism” in the sense that any of these stories could occur; there are no supernatural elements contained. However, the actions and characters are so exaggerated that their purposes are to call attention to the character/societal flaws to which they reflect. The more edgy elements of these stories are not included for shock value; in fact, just the opposite. Their sparse use is purposeful to call extra attention to a certain scene or action. Often a story’s use of crude language is intended characterize these despicable actions as negative—to show that a boss should not be treating those around him like servants, for instance (as is the case in the story Fore!).
Disclaimer aside, the true intention of these stories is simple: to entertain. These are humorous pieces, aimed at poking fun at some typical college, workplace, and neighborhood drama. That’s not to say the pieces are devoid of any deeper meaning, because as described above, they seek to satirize overlooked bits of culture. However, the overarching goal of the Vermillion Comedic Anthology is to entertain readers and provide them much need escape from the stresses of the world.
