Katie Piatt is a nonbinary educator, storyteller, and performance artist who teaches children and adults alike how to smash patriarchy through the wonders of arts and crafts. They have performed at the Banff Centre, Portland’s Artist Repertory Theatre, PNCA, PSU, the street, the Siren Theater, and most recently at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in May 2019."
Hank Logan Peterson is a multidisciplinary theatre/movement artist who's latest volume of work has been devoted to Butoh and it's various sister forms from Japan, and abroad. Working with Patrick McCulley for their second iteration is a true delight; to facilitate a transpersonal and hypnotic journey of sonic and Mono; material.
Patrick McCulley is a Portland, Oregon saxophonist, composer, and educator. His music blends elements from the playing styles of saxophonists Colin Stetson, John Coltrane, and Roscoe Mitchell to transform the saxophone from an everyday instrument into an unrelenting force of nature.
Claire Rigsby and Keegan Kyle are physical theatre artists who are drawn to repetitive motion and simplicity. Inspired by Pina Bausch’s Cafe Müller, The Viewpoints, and Mary Oliver, Palindrome Machines seeks to explore the tension and resolve contradictions that exist within ourselves.
Crow Lauren Jean (they/them), “death do us part" is a performance that tells the origin story of the inescapable monster that is gender. The telling of this tale comes through a human body in movement as they devolve through ancestral memories to their most primal roots in the prehistoric seas.
Kelly Nesbitt is a performance artist who merges performance art, physical comedy, and video. Nesbitt will be introducing a new character, Penny. This will be a tale about a changing climate and the relationship between a clown and mother earth (video/performance).
[E]mpress - Rayawnie Paris, is a Portland native, is a musician who bridges genres forming original sounds like hip-hop, EDM, and classic rock - it’s like a combination of Gandalf and StevenTyler, but way better. You’ll wanna get out of your seat for this one! (photo credit henry m ward)
