Elizabeth Flinsch

 
 

Elizabeth Flinsch is a transdisciplinary artist based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Their work takes the form of performance, interdisciplinary sculpture, and imagined realities in which chance, desire, and impulse are among the cornerstones. Working within the limitations as a survivor of traumatic brain injury, they see memory loss and visual dysfunction as an asset to embodied movement. Part ritual, part inquiry, the work is elongated and deliberate. As a choreographer and performer their work is always in metamorphosis; a state of continuous becoming. Their ongoing durational piece, We Shall Not Want, debuted at the Walker's Choreographer's Evening in 2022.

Their collaboration with musician Jordan Lawrence poses a form of mutual emergence; a symbiosis of simultaneous expression. Together they offer a glimpse of this ceremonial encounter with a creative unconscious.
