Gagarin
Performer, Mover, Biter
Hi! I’m Gagarin! I’m an artist whose work lives at the intersection of Theatre, Dance, and Kink. I believe that the Theatre is a sacred place which gifts us the opportunity to collectively re-encounter our bodies and the world.
My process is highly physical and draws inspiration from SITI Company, John Waters, and Jerzy Grotowski. This creates work that has described as “silly, sexy, and pretty gross”. Which you can get a face-full of in the My Work tab.
In artistic spaces I operate as a performer, devisor, admin juggernaut, and choreographer of things violent, intimate or clownish. If you have interest in collaborating or are curious about my work hit me up!
Originally hailing from South Jersey, I got my BFA in Acting from Montclair State University in 2020. Over the pandemic I migrated to New York; where I have worked with SITI Company, Blessed Unrest, New Georges & others. I have was also a curator with Expand the Canon for three amazing years, where we worked to establish gender equity in the classical canon (and produced an amazing monologue book)!
When I’m not making stuff I love to read, dance for fun, and drink really good wine made by cool people. :3
