Hi! I’m Taigé.
If an artist under surveillance capitalism doesn’t have an online presence, do they really exist?
I am currently getting my MFA in Acting at The Theatre School at DePaul University in the beautiful city of Chicago. I consider myself a true multi hyphenate artist. This journey has taken me down many a rabbit hole: from poetry to music, from visual to performance art, from in front of the camera to behind it. I trust the path to continue to unfold before my feet. One step at a time.
I’ve got deep respect for the spirits, my ancestors, and the people who have shaped me. I am interrogating the ways in which my existence is a microcosm of the greater natural order (or disorder). Most days I’m in a state of wonder, delight, or awe. Or I’m watching reality tv. It’s called balance.
I am the other half of a lil production company called Elder Daughter Productions LLC with Brittany Mayti. After a couple months of working together, we have 2 features in development, 1 episodic series in pre-production, and 3 shorts in post production. I’m very proud of this. And excited to see how it evolves.
Please drop me a line if you’d like to get involved.
Favorite things include: pasta, my cat, being horizontal, making music and/or just screaming tastefully, walking really slowly, dancing my ass off, being metaphorically set on fire but also swimming, Tom Waits (are you my dad?), coffee, cursing (and maybe also curses)
I once told a mentor that I would never want to watch his kids and he said, “that’s fine cuz I would never want you to watch my kids either” and that somehow felt like a compliment to me.
