ARTEMISIA is a solo project performance moniker by Audrey.
She is a figure of the american backwoods, who is curious about fear, shadow, and desire.
ARTEMISIA: encounter (work in progress) was a performance presented by the Queering Dance Festival at Counterpulse in March 2025 exploring shadow, fracture, and redemption within American identity, mythologies, and obsessions. On a journey through the backwoods of self, ARTEMISIA works with the bitter medicine of truth and invites descent into the depths and muck of our shadow.
