Jordan Deal

Jordan Deal (they/them, b. 1996, Philadelphia, PA, USA) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work defies conventional boundaries. Using their body as a conduit, Deal navigates the intersections of performance, sound, and film to unravel the forces that shape socio-political structures, mythologies, and anomalies. Through their use of speculative philosophy, punk tonalities, myth, and process-based research, they have developed an approach that bleeds into avant-theatrical public interventions and sonic compositions. They utilize vocal and movement based improvisational techniques in order to harness and disperse a concept they call chaos force as a subversive material and methodology. Their shapeshifting forms are intended to experiment with embodied black queer futurity–rendering the space between fugitivity, subterranean landscapes, worldbuilding, resistance, and a love poetic.
