Siobhán O’Loughlin (she/her) is a bi-coastal performance artist, educator, and filmmaker whose small scale, intimate works are all rooted in creating community through creativity. With a foundation in theatre of the oppressed, and over a decade’s worth of experience in political organizing, Siobhán’s apex of creative practice lives in the space between art and activism, audience and participant, social experiment and social movement. Her site specific, immersive work has gathered audiences around bathtubs, into classrooms, movie theaters, recording booths, bucolic havens and city streets.

Remotely, Siobhán has cultivated an ongoing performance series on zoom that has had over 100 episodes of interactive, accessible works, as well as a full-length interactive solo performance in Virtual Reality. Her maintained engagement with the community surrounding her work has culminated in a creative retreat in the Catskill mountains, where Siobhán facilitates a three day weekend of artistry and empathy.
