bio
Jackie Soro (she/they) is a Philadelphia-based artist, singer, and collaborative theater-maker.
As a performer, they create spaces to contend with questions about place, personhood, and the interplay between collectivity & the individual. Their original solo & collaborative works are thoughtful, irreverent, and fiercely queer.
Jackie holds many things, including queer & mixed-race identities; degrees in history and gender studies; a deep love for working with children; and an allergy to regular work schedules. She enjoys improvising, being outside, good books, crafts, gardening, and speaking in a loud voice. Jackie is a Sagittarius with a Cancer moon and is trying her best to make art through the end times.
