Angel Glasby is an Afro-Caribbean artist, beaming with southern charm, integrating with the community in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Their work utilizes theater and movement to encapsulate the ephemeral nature of the black queer experience. Embarking on a fantasy-filled journey to return to the mundane. The pressing question at the center of their process is how to get closer to home. Angel has graced stages across the world performing work in collaboration with choreographers such as Rena Butler and Sidra Bell, and has starred in an experimental Opera directed by Shekieth in Performa’s 2023 Biennale. On the other side of the room, she has aided emerging artists such as Julian Pairre, Dorchel Haqq, Thalia Sablon, and Maxi Star Canon, serving as dramaturge, consultant, and rehearsal director. Upholding a creative practice, like many artists, they are multidimensional and have put their money where their mouth is politically. She advises you to do the same.
