Bio
Raegan Truax is a durational performance artist who creates visceral, corporeal environments and takes breath, sweat, and skin as basic materials for works that exhaust, endure, and provoke the simultaneity of art and life. Her work was recently featured by the Marina Abramović Institute and has been presented at Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik (ZKU) in Berlin, SOMarts in San Francisco, grüntaler9 in Berlin, The Northern California Performance Platform, Berlin Art Week, Performance Studies International, Dance Theatre Workshop in New York City, Heizraum Concert Series in Berlin and The New Museum in New York City as collaborator to Carlos Motta’s international art project “We Who Feel Differently”.
Truax earned her PhD from The Department of Theatre and Performance Studies at Stanford University in 2018. She is currently working on her manuscript titled, Durational Performance: Temporalities of the Untimely Body.
Truax additionally holds a B.A. in Creative Writing from Colorado College; an MA in Humanities and Social Thought with a concentration in Gender Politics from John W. Draper Interdisciplinary Program at NYU; and an MA in Performance Studies from NYU. She was the recipient of The Leigh George Odom Memorial Award for Distinguished Master's Student from NYU's Department of Performance Studies.
