Alexander Paris is a queer mixed black multidisciplinary playwright and performer who grew up in the small town of Bisbee, Arizona. They were raised on a film diet of Ken Russell's Tommy, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Akira, B Horror movies, and camp films like Show Girls. The work that they make reflects that. Last year they had artistic fellowships with Clubbed Thumb and The Performance Project at University Settlement. Their play Girls on Film was presented as a reading at The Wild Project for Summerworks '19 and their play Cancer Cancer Cancer was shown as a full production for ANT Fest 2018. Most recently they created work for Prelude 2019. They can often be found doing stand-up and performance art or performing for others at various spaces around the city. Some favorite works to have acted in: Lorelei Ramirez's "Pervert Everything" (Adult Swim) "Wheelchair" by Will Arbery (Dixon Place) "the feels...(KMS)" by Jeremy O. Harris (The New Ohio) For more: @paristextus on Instagram
