Live @ LOW END | Dorian Wood

Dorian Wood (she/they) is an anti-disciplinary artist based in the US. Her intent of “infecting” spaces and ideologies with her creative practice is born from a desire to challenge traditions and systems that have contributed to the marginalization of people.

Her work has been showcased in concert halls and performance spaces around the world, including at institutions like The Broad (Los Angeles), Brown University (Providence), Museo Nacional Del Prado (Madrid), the City Hall of Madrid and Teatro de la Ciudad Esperanza Iris (Mexico City). Wood is a recipient of an FCA Grants for Artists Award, a Creative Capital Award, a NALAC Fund for the Arts Grant, a COLA Individual Master Artist Project Grant, an LA County Performing Arts Recovery Grant and an Art Matters Foundation Grant. In 2023, Wood premiered Canto de Todes, a touring twelve-hour chamber music composition and installation that emphasizes the urgency of folk music as a conduit for social change. In 2024, Wood toured her piano-and-voice interpretation of Sinéad O'Connor's album I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, honoring the late artist on the anniversary of her passing. Wood has released over a dozen recordings, most recently the albums You are clearly in perversion (2023, Astral Editions), in collaboration with Thor Harris; and Excesiva (Dragon's Eye Recordings, 2023).

Admission is free; ticket reservations are encouraged.
