Lore is a Filipino-American, non-binary interdisciplinary theatermaker, singer-songwriter, musician, and teaching artist based in Oakland, CA. With a background in theater, music, visual art, digital and multimedia content, and community building, Lore’s artistic work often reflects their lived experience of being a Queer and Trans Filipinx-Person of Color. Their art often conjures up a dreamlike reality that holds infinite space for them and others to commune with their ghosts that evoke senses of longing and belonging, the subconscious, queerness, diaspora, duality, resilience, movement, and transitions. They primarily work with and specialize in experimental theater and performance, poetry, music, photography, multimedia, and everything in between. Over the years they have collaborated and performed with various companies in the Bay Area, notably with Shotgun Players, Bindlestiff Studio, Cutting Ball Theater, SF Playhouse, SF Shakes, Cal Shakes, Theaterworks, and Berkeley Rep. They received a BA in Theater & Performance Studies from UC Berkeley and have also studied with American Conservatory Theater, the SITI Company, Dell’Arte School of Physical Theater, and California College for the Arts. They are currently working on the release of their debut album with their band, Lore & The Murmuring Hearts. Outside of making art, you can find them adventuring around the globe, teaching young children how to sing and act, looking at the stars (they are a Libra Sun, Cancer Moon, + Virgo Rising), and walking their pup Arya.
