A thinker, a healer, and a lifelong performer, Ligaya has an interdisciplinary background including visual art (Gallery 37), vocal performance (Hard Rock Cafe), spoken word (Lit X), dance (Field Museum with Tamboula Ethnic Dance Company), and theater (Pinting Theater Company). This is her second year having the honor of performing at the Chicago Home Theater Festival. Aside from her community work as an occupational therapist and teaching artist with Urban Gateways, she writes and performs original music, sound, and performative works, most recently at the Silver Room, Links Hall, and the Stony Island Arts Bank. Her most current explorations aim to weave mediums and utilize contemporary performance practices to examine the intersections of race, gender, decolonization, indigeneity, activism, and healing. Ligaya has completed her MA in Interdisciplinary Arts at Columbia College. jenniferligaya.com
