Katie Macyshyn

Katie became an artist because it makes her feel human and express ideas in a way that transcends speech and writing. Her main medium is multi-sensory performance comprised of video, sound, costume, singing, poetry and installation. Her upbringing in choirs and musical theater adds a campy sensibility to her art. Components of performances also stand on their own as time-based media, paintings, sculptures or installations. Her work brings healing to individuals in pain caused by ego-centrism and binary thinking such as victimization/ empowerment and spirituality/profanity. She can make work anywhere with coffee, wifi and relative quiet. Katie names how to “approach mind-blowing topics without completely alienating my audience?” as one of her primary challenges. Her current project revolves around a character called XXX STACY, whose name stands for Sex Teacher Advocated Chronic Youforia. As a spiritual person, Katie created this character as a representation of higher planes of consciousness and benevolent beings who reside in the other realms. Going forward, she intends to integrate ancient wisdom and healing techniques into her work, which will rely on audience participation and the running of specific energy frequencies. She’ll be performing in NYC July 7th at Tarot Society for the opening of Intuition is Razor Sharp curated by ULTRACULTURAL OTHERS.
