Skye Fort

Skye is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice includes theatre, video, performance, music, and installation. Her work focuses on themes of excess and consumption, the environment and destruction, discomfort, failure, and the chaotic and messy aspects of being alive. Through a combination of disciplines, she is interested in exploring non-narrative forms of storytelling and communication.

 

As a theatre maker, Skye creates pieces which avoid linear and narrative storytelling, and instead focus on creating moments of emotional resonance in tandem with intellectual disconnect. Her theatrical work is deeply informed by Eastern European theatre traditions, with heightened physicality and an ensemble focus.  

 

Her work in video and performance centers around the line between attractive and unsettling, specifically as it relates to environmental destruction. She draws inspiration from artists ranging from Jaques Lecoq to Cindy Sherman to Eric Andre. Through her performance work, she hopes an audience is able to explore the areas between erotic and disturbing and consider how these lines are used to manipulate our consumption.

 

Skye's artistic practice frequently employs metaphor, satire, music, humor, and visceral empathy. She looks for ways to play with the lines between disciplines, to create pieces which evade easy labels and engage critically and emotionally with the world around us.
