NEVE

is a Performance Art Phenomenon

and the Lover of Low Creatures

NEVE (they/he/she) is a Nubian American enchantrexx of queer joy and consequences, creating and producing in the realms of dance, musical theatre, and experimental film, and casting spells in Duwamish (Seattle) and other Unceded Coast Salish Territories, and being of other rivers- the Raritan, the Mississippi, the Nile. He is a Levar Burton, Reading, Rainbow Lover. Great Great Grandchild of the Author of The Velveteen Rabbit. She is a river fairy and a merqueer and a chip of hard sap shimmering down to the bottom. They are a 2020 Pina Bausch Fellow, and one of the first two Americans to receive the award. They are an international award-winning actor and filmmaker. He likes to drink wine, coffee, tears, and sink into the dance. She is not afraid to rescue you from the sunken place or assist you in seeing her more clearly. They believe in God, Liberation, Land Back, Right of Return, Reparations, and the Loch Ness Monster. They are polyamorously gay married, and they talk to animals, but the talking to animals came first and shed light on future relating. Much like that velveteen rabbit, they are magic, mutable, and real.
