Shakara Rose Carter presents Triptych
 
Shakara is an actor, creator, puppeteer and writer from Yorkshire in the UK. She is one half of The Panda Project, created with collaborator Nihaarika Negi; a concept whereby two women of colour embody ‘ panda personas’ in order to explore their exoticized ancestries through the only language they know – that of their colonisers. A satirical piece that seeks to open a rigorous dialogue about the intersection of art, race and popular culture and the unfathomable effect that has on identity as seen through the eyes of the fictional “Panda Diaspora.” Shakara played Hermione on her MA programme’s spring production of A Winter’s Tale, she also trained at Shakespeare’s Globe where she played De Flores in The Changeling.
As an actor she has worked with the Manchester Royal Exchange, SlungLowShorts, Caviar Content, The Criterion, The Albany Theatre with Rena Brannan, Freedom Studios and BBC Radio 4’s Contains Strong Language Festival. As an artist maker she has presented at Camden People’s Theatre and received support from Arts Council England and Eclipse:SLATE. She is currently a student at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland on the Classical & Contemporary Text Masters in Acting – though technically she’s on a year long deferral due to COVID-19.

Lorene Bouboushian presents COINTELPRO reading + The Butthole Aria

Lorene Bouboushian is a genderqueer artist based in Chicago, with working-class roots in rural Texas, and family ties to Lebanon and Armenia. Their process spans dance, experimental music/noise, performance art, and social practice. They utilize “self-exposure and vulnerability in real, risky ways” [CultureBot, 2011], and produce “thought-provoking commentary on social limits” [Minneapolis Star Tribune, 2016]. Their practice includes performance, installation, workshops, panels, and curating. They facilitate the UNDOING & DOING Social Practice Collective. They create emotionally jarring juxtapositions of text, movement, and audience interaction to dive into lingering interstitial tensions and challenge dominant social positionings. They performed here in Chicago at Co-Prosperity Sphere, The Hideout, Pinky Swear, No Nation, Rubicon/Roxaboxen, The Learning Machine, and Archer Ballroom. During their time in NYC, they shared work at Dixon Place, Abrons Art Center (Queer New York), JACK, Danspace Project, ISSUE Project Room, Center for Performance Research, and the Queens Museum, and held residencies at New York Live Arts, Chez Bushwick, and Movement Research. They have performed domestically and internationally in festivals including Rhubarb Festival (Toronto), New Genre Festival (OK), Miami Performance International Festival, Queer Zagreb, Inverse Performance Art Festival (AR), and Month of Performance Art-Berlin, and have held residencies at Mount Tremper Arts (NY), Santa Fe Art Institute, and Three Phase Center (NY). They have taught at the New Museum, and universities in Kentucky, Beirut, and Mexico.
