As part of K. Bradford’s Artist in Residency Project, Wild Glitch, they are offering a series of workshops and interactive, creative laboratory experiments drawing upon some of the storytelling, sculptural, and mythic elements of their Wild Glitch performance work.
This storytelling lab will focus on storytelling through oral history as a community process to generate stories that live in a call and response. Leaning into trans/qenderqueer collectivity, we will share stories from pivotal moments of gender expansion, dysphoria, and emergence. Rotating through different pairings and groupings, participants will practice a range of approaches to oral history as both creative generation and as a community praxis. Our stories are a trans organism, each story is a ripple effect that shapes how we tell our trans tales.
Note for Nov Workshops: No previous experience or skills necessary. These workshops are open only to those who identify as trans/nonbinary/genderqueer.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
K. Bradford (they/them) is an interdisciplinary performer, writer, and curator whose art + social practice invites radical presence, play, and pathways toward collective alchemy. K.’s gender theater, performance art, and public art works explore queer and trans ecologies, interspecies kinship, liberation strategies, and mythic transformation in times of reckoning. As a performer and curator, K. activates inventive cross-pollination, inviting audiences into a call and response with ritual, camp, and poetic experimentation, stewarding futures of resilience and joy.
K. has toured across the U.S. with their writing and performance, and they have been awarded scholarships and residencies for their work, including the Bread Loaf Writers Conference, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, the Atlantic Center for the Arts, the Theatrical Jazz Institute, and the Fulbright Scholars Program. Their writing has been published in anthologies and journals such as the LA Review of Books, Gulf Coast, Soap Ear, Viralnet.net, & more. Through trainings, mentorship, and collaboration, K.’s work sits in the lineage of Sharon Bridgforth, Guillermo Gomez-Pena, Peggy Shaw, and Leslie Feinberg. In 2025, K. launched Qosmos, a post-drag spectacle, and they are at work on a full-length performance, Wild Glitch. Currently, K.’s curatorial practice also includes leadership roles at the Performance Art Museum and nina, a new queer arts space in LA. K. is beaming with excitement to have their creative work nested in FCCW’s community and Artist in Residency program to bring this new work to life!
