Artist Bio
Sophia Cleary is a queer interdisciplinary artist, actor, writer, and comedian working with jokes, video, dance, music, mime, and more. Self-identified as "genreless," Cleary draws upon her life experience as a birth doula, waiter, and analyst for a private investigator, in order to explore the nature of relationships, vulnerability, and the space between performer and audience. Cleary has presented her work in NYC at the Center for Performance Research, Danspace Project, The Chocolate Factory, Dixon Place, The Kitchen, and e-flux and in Los Angeles at the Hammer Museum and Human Resources Gallery. She is the founder and coordinator of the works-in-progress series REHEARSAL and formerly served as the co-editor for Ugly Duckling Presse's performance annual Emergency INDEX. She is one-half of feminist punk band Penis, a collaboration with Samara Davis. SophiaCleary.com
Amanda-Faye Jimenez is a queer, fat, Blaxican writer and literary performer. She is adequately self-centered and dramatic, but surprisingly does not have a web series yet. Her rejection letter from the PEN Center USA Emerging Voices Fellowship said her application stood out as one of the stronger submissions. She's totally going to submit again someday, but in the meantime she will continue working on her craft, entertaining her 900+ Facebook friends almost daily with her astute observations, and letting her dogs kiss her on the mouth, even though everyone keeps telling her that's some white people shit. Other interests include intersectional feminism, cooking, dancing, palm trees, internet research, tiny dogs, and taking multiple-choice tests. She lives in Los Angeles with her person Jo and her dogs Cinder and Freyja. Amandafayejimenez.com
