Why you should listen
Jo Michael Rezes is a nonbinary theatremaker, award-winning Equity actor, transmedia artist and education consultant dedicated to the development of new, queer works which feature transgender collaborators and fabulously grotesque aesthetics. Rezes is developing a monograph called Fractals: Nonbinary Acting Methods and facilitates workshops on the subject. They have dedicated their career to inclusive performance pedagogy beyond binary constructions — embracing queer aesthetics, sensation and experience over final product. Rezes has held teaching appointments at Boston College, Emerson College and Harvard University, and is the curriculum developer for The Theater Offensive's True Colors programs.
