About the Artist

Working across performance, film, and community facilitation, Nora Sharp hosts audiences in worlds where language and embodiment merge in unexpected, illuminating, and often funny ways. Their work addresses the perpetual unraveling of queer+trans identity formation, the kinks in the fabric of artmaking economies, and the reverberation of key moments in familial, romantic, and casual relationships. A 2023 Queer|Art Mentorship Fellow in Performance, 2024 Chicago Dancemakers Forum Lab Artist, and 2025 Oberlin Screenwriters Intensive Fellow, Nora has had work presented by the Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago, On the Boards, Movement Research at the Judson Church, Steppenwolf Theatres LookOut Series, New Dance Alliances 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 the country; and supported by residencies at the University of Chicago Performance Lab, 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.
