Portia Wells (they/them) is a trans non-binary multidisciplinary artist based in Lenapehoking (NYC). They were born and raised on occupied lands and waters known as the Finger Lakes region of New York. Dance has been the central axis of their life, mobilizing their personal voice to communicate, explore, and research group dynamics, ephemerality (and otherwise), and socio-political experiences. Their work centers identity, intimacy, and performativity as informed by their lived queer and trans experience, collaborative processes, and queer theory. Their work spans choreography, curation, production and stage management, creative direction, writing. They are a cofounder of FourAcres, a creative production company creating platforms and pathways to bring together skilled artists with global perspectives.
