Franciszka Fierce: Spoken word is one way of saying it. Open heart magic surgery is another…. Franciszka is part humyn, part elf and devises fantastical arrangements and combinations of the English alphabet as a way of putting our hearts back into our bodies. St. Francis uses word art as storytelling, word art as healing, and loves to work word art as a collaborative process.
Chane attempts to bring dance to unexpected places. Chane returned to working on movement/dance in 2006 with Conduit Dance in Portland. Recent works are Convergence with KO&Co, Translations with Faith Levine, Flirt not Fight at Freakshow-a-go-go, Cubed at Ten Tiny Dances and currently City Dance with Linda Austin.
Brenna Sahatjian has songs sprouting in her stomach. She plays original folk tunes involving guitar, cello and piano and is part of Riot-Folk, a radical collective of folk musicians. She is noted for her unique guitar style, the dense poetry of her lyrics and multi-instrumental recordings on which she accompanies herself. She is currently playing as Voidface, a trumpet and guitar duet band.
