Jesse factor (Pittsburgh, pa) Jesse Factor’s studied channeling of divas in exile--from time and body--hauntingly reflects the impressions they’ve left behind. Awards include the Twin Cities Arts Reader Critics Pick and Minnesota Fringe Staff Pick for RELIC, Outstanding Dance Performance for Marthagany at the Fresh Fruit Festival-NYC, and the Kelly Strayhorn Freshworks residency grant (Pittsburgh) for I Am a Haunted House (with collaborator Scott Andrew). Factor’s work has been presented at TQ Live! at the Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh), OUTsider Festival (Austin), Milton Art Bank (Milton), RADfest (Kalamazoo), St. Mark’s Church in the Bowery (NYC), House of Yes, (NYC), and Fierce Queer Burlesque (Toronto).
