Cast Bios - The Sextacular Show

Welcome to the Sextacular Family! We believe in letting our crew identify however they choose so some of their titles may be a bit unorthodox. We ask you address them by their preferred titles, for without them, we wouldn't have this awesome show for you:D

Since then, they've been practicing spoken word poetry, theater of the oppressed, dance, storytelling, social activism, and space-making as tools for community building. Most recently, they co-initiated a long-term, self-sustaining, collaborative community project at the Claremont Colleges titled: "Healing Justice: Queering the Intersections of the Personal and Political" which consisted of workshops, weekly gatherings, and performance. Jacey also co-wrote and performed in various acts -- over several years -- in an ongoing Queer Burlesque show, addressing ableism, academia, embodiment, gender justice, love, and more through a liberatory framework.
