“Deborah Lohse is a choreographer, performer, and filmmaker.

Her performances are defined by humor more than a specific style or discipline—they simultaneously hover over dance, theatrics, performance art, costumery, and vaudeville.

Her works unspool personal narratives, riff on cultural mores, and dig into human relationships and female sexuality.

She maximizes the art of play until it becomes a serious study of discovery by her, fellow performers, and the audience.”

- Naomi Miller, Artist
