Eliot loves experimental theatre, sociopolitical horror films, and all things ghostly and monstrous. Creatively, they are fascinated by the people, events, and memories that haunt us. How might listening to these ghosts help us create new, impossible futures? Right now, they are most passionate about the overlaps in Black, trans, and disability justice work in the arts, philanthropy, and grassroots organizing. As Co-Executive Director with Gender Fucked Productions, they’re supporting as many trans artists in Chicago as possible. They can also be found bopping around theatres in Chicago be it front or back of house: Redtwist Theatre, Apollo Theatre, and Goodman Theatre. Eliot is also the Grants Manager for Redtwist.
