​

Candi X is a performance artist, facilitator, director, and producer. They  recently moved back to their home town of Portland, Oregon after spending half of their life in South & Latin America .  

 

Their brightly queer and colorful creations, which are rooted in deep research, explore the eco-erotic relationship between the human and natural world. All of their works are equal parts embodied, intellectual, and silly – redefining the erotic by igniting the sensorial imagination. Through playful, body-based experiences, performances, films, and practices, they facilitate fun, connection, and curiosity that opens audiences up to new perspectives and possibilities for connection to themselves and the life around them.

 

Their philosophy explores eroticism as the desire for more aliveness, not only for oneself, but for all life – the erotic as a driving force to both imagine and action new forms of creation and collaboration. Through their diverse works, they awaken the memory of being alive in our bodies so we may listen more deeply to ourselves, those around us, and the surrounding nature which inspires us to better care for one another and co-create an abundant future and a new regenerative reality.

 

Candi X has taught, performed, and directed internationally in Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, the US, and all throughout Mexico.

 

They are currently working on the full length version of their solo show Rituals for Remembering, in the research process of their next group show Splash, and teaching.
