Lisa Newman
live art/ texte-based confessions

Lisa Newman is an intermedia performance artist and executive co-director/ founder of 2 Gyrlz Performative Arts.

Lisa's work is an ongoing exploration of languages - written, verbal, physical, and undefined. Lisa endeavors to create new territories within the "audience/performer" dynamic, and these previously assigned roles become vague, malleable; participants are eager to be pushed as well as to push back. The results are a form of communication that has yet to be given a name.
