MACK LAWRENCE
(they/them)
is an interdisciplinary performance artist, dancer, and playwright from Austin, TX, currently living in Brooklyn. As a trans playwright and a sixth-generation Austinite, their work tells queer stories with a southern voice. They write about trans characters’ unique capabilities, weird aversions, silly desires—rather than writing them into roles of quasi-representation. They are charmed by the radical politic of allowing a queer person to inhabit a fictional arc that has both everything and nothing to do with their orientations, especially within chosen communities in the deep South.
Mack performs with ARCOS Dance, most recently as a part of Ether Dust, a movement tour through rural West Texas. They also co-directed ARCOS’s In the Ether set at the 2021 American Dance Festival. Since moving to Brooklyn, Mack has been a part of MOtiVE Brooklyn’s For the Artist! Residency program. Mack is currently the director of their ongoing project Dinner, a dance-play stuffed full of rigorous movement, nightmare imagined run-ins, sweet tender moments, and pure anarchy. Mack is intrigued by performances that you think about the day after you see them—specifically, vulnerable, absurd, and somewhat relatable performance art.
Mack graduated with honors from the UT Austin BFA Dance Program, under the direction of Charles O. Anderson. They are a certified Dance Educator and Teaching Artist for the National Dance Institute. Their site here.

LOGAN GABRIELLE SCHULMAN
(they/them)
is a multidiscplinary performance and social-practice artist: director, writer, designer, dramaturg, performer, and educator. In the theatre, they are most passionate about devised work, progressive new works development, puppetry, and the (de)construction of spectacle. Their original works investigate modern crises of faith and toxic american masculinities and soft and hard queer communities through immersive performance and ritual — all steeped in grief practice and spacemaking for mourning together in public.
Recently directed works include Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du soldat (Sarasota Orchestra), Sontag’s A Parsifal (Hangar Theatre), DINNER (The Brick), The Chairs (People’s Forum), A Children’s Ceremony (Flying Leap), and Sunday in Sodom (Drama League). They are a Guggenheim Museum educator, a company puppeteer with the Central Park Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre, and a producer-director with Flying Leap Productions.
Logan gabrielle is an alumna of The Drama League Directors Project, and former resident-artist of Lincoln Center Theater’s Directors Lab North, the Social Practice Institute at the Greensboro Contemporary Jewish Museum, Headlong Dance Theater, Bread & Puppet, and Chautauqua Institution’s Visual Arts Residency. Their written dramatic work was featured on the 2020 Kilroys List, and is currently under commission with the Walnut Street Theatre, Brooklyn Children’s Museum, and The Neighborhood. Their dramatic works are held in the permanent collections of the Harry Ransom Center at UT Austin, the Special Collections Library at Ringling College of Art and Design, and Elsewhere Museum.
Logan gained their degree in Theatre and Religion from New College of Florida, where they served as an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded adjunct theatre faculty in 2022. Their site here.

RAYCHEL CECIRO
(they/them)
is a Floridian eco-anthro-archival performance artist, engaging the past with a preposterous present through urgent tenderness and radical responsibility. Their practice focuses on the handling of delicate information from the primary sources of text, mind, body, and collective memory, specifically those at risk of erasure from climate catastrophe. Practicing within the generous failures of embodied dramaturgy, Raychel investigates expressions of earthly grief, love, and ferocious care through choreography, movement, and devised theatrical work.
Their work has been presented along the east coast in New York and Philadelphia (The New School, 954 Dance Movement Collective, the Annenberg Performing Arts Center, among others) as well as in many parks, museums, and cultural centers throughout Florida, such as the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens and the Ringling Museum of Art. My work has been supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Florida Public Archaeology Network, and the New School College of Performing Arts.
As an arts administrator, Raychel studies sustainable creative placemaking and enages adrienne marie brown’s emergent strategy as an anti-oppressive blueprint for uplifting and supporting artists, ensuring they have the resources to imagine, create, and celebrate an equitable and liberated future. They are the Operations Coordinator at Movement Research in New York, and previously served as the General Manager of Sarasota Contemporary Dance, as well as in administrative roles at Koresh Dance Company and the National Constitution Center.
Raychel has had work featured on the 2020 Kilroys List, and at the Centre National de la Danse (Paris), HERE Arts (NYC), The Brick (NYC), En Garde Arts (NYC), the New School College of Performing Arts (NYC), Poetry Society of New York (NYC), Annenberg Performing Arts Center at the University of Pennsylvania (PHL), 954 Dance Movement Collective (PHL), Ursinus College (PA), the Shoebox Theater Festival (PHL), Vox Populi (PHL), the Ringling Museum of Art (FL), MARA Studio|Gallery (FL), Marie Selby Botanical Gardens (FL), Sarasota Art Museum (FL), the Bay Park Conservancy (FL), and with the Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies department at the New College of Florida. Raychel has produced their work with support from the Florida Humanities Council, Sarasota Arts and Cultural Alliance (John Ringling Towers Grant), Florida Public Archaeology Network, and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Raychel received their BA with honors from the New College of Florida, where they double majored in Literature and Anthropology, and where they were also hosted as an Adjunct Professor in spring 2022.
