About the Artist

Ski Gozo is a Theatrical Storyteller & Educator based in San Diego, California. 

​

Amongst their peers they found an exhaustion of representation onstage that only pointed to high points of trauma when connecting to identity rather than offering any semblance of the celebration of ancestral cultures. They specialize in helping people develop anthologies and works surrounding identity. Gozo’s process has been heavily influenced by practices based on community outreach and helping theater practitioners of all levels find their way in to express themselves. While Ski likes to work in poetics, they have also helped devise in various other mediums such as Film, Tik Tok, Musicals and prose. Their initial offering stems from interview based poetry followed by a pursuit of their personal and their collaborator’s exposure to artistic forms to find the healthiest vessel for their art to take shape in.​

 

Their largest pursuit has been the anthology of works titled American Distortion acting as a political fantasia for their collaborators to explore their connection with American nationalism and the state of their relationship to their identity. 

 

Ski is intrigued by the idea of transmedia and immersive theater. How do we engage the audience before the show? Do we have interactive installations that change their meaning before and after the show? Is there a virtual call to action or a pool of resources? What can the theater offer in conjunction to the accessibility that was created amidst that pandemic that we can implore now?

Create. Tinker. Push Forward.
