Careeredit
paggett's 2013 performance—verse chorus—was a commissioned performance at The Studio Museum in Harlem for perFOREmance, a series of performances for the museum's 2012–2013 exhibition, Fore, that featured the work of artists of African descent. verse chorus both utilized and deconstructed Zumba; paggett was drawn to the "instructional format" of zumba and pop culture's ability to create "a sense of shared knowledge."[4]
paggett presented underwaters (we is ready, we is ready) at the 2014 Whitney Biennial. paggett's underwaters was intended to be "immersive" and involved paggett interacting with the space as four different characters during a period of five days. Each of paggett's characters had demographic differences; the details of these differences were not shared with viewers. paggett transitioned into the characters in front of viewers and let each persona speak for themselves, with paggett remaining silent. Ultimately, paggett aimed to create a space that was not confined by space and time and could engage both with viewers present and with "spirits and other nonpresent entities"[5]
paggett has performed in multiple companies and group projects. As a dancer, paggett has worked with David Roussève/Reality, Meg Wolfe, Stanley Love Performance Group, Fiona Dolenga-Marcotty, Vic Marks, Cid Pearlman, Cheng-Chieh Yu, Baker-Tarpaga Projects, Rebecca Alson-Milkman, Kelly Nipper, and Ultra-red. She has regularly collaborated with Ashley Hunt since 2004 on a project frequently called On Movement, Thought and Politics, including an exhibition at Sea and Space Explorations.[6] paggett was also a dancer in the 2006 Mike Kelley film Day is Done.
