ABOUT THIS SHOW
Nora Sharp's DISCIPLINE is a night of action, experimentation and commitment to the bit. Drawing from a solo practice in development for a show set to premiere in 2025, this evening blends comedy, choreo, confessional, criticality and plenty of community too. DISCIPLINE embraces the perpetual motion of works in progress and the un-pin-down-ability of live performance.
About Nora Sharp
Working across performance, film and community facilitation, Nora Sharp hosts audiences in worlds where language and embodiment merge in surprising, funny and illuminating ways. Their work often addresses the perpetual unraveling of queer+trans identity formation, and the reverberance of key moments in familial, romantic and casual relationships.
A 2023 Queer|Art Mentorship Fellow in Performance and 2024 Chicago Dancemakers Forum Lab Artist, Nora has had work presented by On the Boards, Movement Research at the Judson Church, New Dance Alliance’s Performance Mix 37, Open TV, Midwest RAD Fest, the Fly Honey Show, the Shawl-Anderson Dance Center, Synapse Arts - New Works and at DIY artist-led performance nights across Chicago; and supported by residencies at the The Croft, Hambidge, Links Hall and High Concept Labs. Outside making their own work, they have facilitated regular work-in-progress performance spaces, performed or dramaturged for many independent artists, shared Amtrak coupons for creative research and co-organized artist collective response efforts in addition to working full-time in social change organizing.
In DISCIPLINE, Nora will offer experiments and bits-in-development from their ongoing solo practice.
