Born and raised in Fresno, CA, taisha paggett is an interdisciplinary dance artist whose individual and collaborative works re-articulate and collide specific western choreographic practices with the politics of daily life so as to contemplate and interrupt fixed histories of Black and queer embodiment, desire, placemaking, possibility, and survival. Recent works include the dance company project, WXPT (we are the paper, we are the trees) and the collaborative School for the Movement of the Technicolo(u)r People, both of which also draw upon inquiries inside of social practice; critical pedagogy; somatic and contemplative investigation; queer, feminist, and Black studies; performance and visual art studies; as well as the political and philosophical meshes of personal history.
