Grace McCants

Working across performance, film, and community facilitation, Nora Sharp hosts audiences in worlds where language and embodiment merge in unexpected ways. Their work often addresses the perpetual unraveling of queer+trans identity formation, the kinks in the fabric of artmaking economies, and the reverberance of key moments in familial, romantic, and casual relationships. A 2023 Queer|Art Mentorship Fellow in Performance and 2024 Chicago Dancemakers Forum Lab Artist, Nora has had work presented by On the Boards, Movement Research at the Judson Church, Steppenwolf Theatre’s LookOut Series, New Dance Alliance’s Performance Mix 37, Open TV, Midwest RAD Fest, the Fly Honey Show, the Shawl-Anderson Dance Center, Synapse Arts - New Works, and at DIY artist-led performance nights across Chicago; and supported by residencies at the The Croft, Hambidge, Links Hall, and High Concept Labs.
