About the Artist

Linnea Bond is a Philadelphia-based performance artist, environmental justice organizer, and educator exploring apocalypse and renewal on a personal, interpersonal, and global scale. With her undergraduate degree in Sociology and an MFA in Acting and New Works Creation, her work lives in the intersection of art and activism and has included live proscenium theatre, immersive experiences, protest design, and audio and video creation. She is currently touring The American Revolution with Chicago-based Theatre Unspeakable.

Linnea has toured to twelve North American cities performing Heart Ripped Out Twice And So Can You!, her autobiographical comedic solo show about her life-threatening tumors and a devastating break-up, and connecting the pain of heartbreak to the climate crisis. The show won Critics’ Pick of the Cincinnati Fringe and artist vote for encore performance, and Producer’s Pick at the Atlanta Fringe, with the Orlando Weekly saying, “If Amy Sedaris and Jane Lynch had a baby who became the world's most intense timeshare salesperson, they still probably wouldn't be half as arresting as Linnea Bond... [A]n achingly funny plea for existence.” She has devised performances solo and collaboratively around a myriad of social themes, including addiction, aging and dementia, queer history, and post-deployment reintegration and the civilian/military divide. Other recent favorites include A Benefit Cabaret To Save Philadelphia From Climate Change and New World Rising!.

In addition to writing and stage acting, she has also directed and dramaturged, and played small roles in Todd Haynes’ films, Carol and Dark Waters. She has taught elementary through adult students, including three years teaching undergraduate theatre and acting at Ohio State. In addition to her graduate research, she draws on extensive acting and movement training with such companies as SITI, Pig Iron, the RSC, American Conservatory Theatre, Double Edge, and Frantic Assembly.
