Swipe right on The Bed Trick! Meet Anna, played by Claire Rigsby. šŸ”„ 

Claire Rigsby (she/they) is an actor/maker/mover/shaker originally from Atlanta, GA. Claire is thrilled to be back on stage with Artists Rep (and Luan!) again after True Story, 1984, and The Thanksgiving Play. More recently, you may have seen Claire as Holly in Mrs. Harrison at Portland Center Stage, many characters in A Christmas Carol at Portland Playhouse, or sitting 10 feet in the air with co-creator India Roper-Moyes in ā€œstitch by stitch,ā€ their large-scale fiber installation for the Risk/Reward Festival.
Big thanks to Luan, the cast and crew, and Artists Rep for giving me the opportunity to keep playing, to my friends, family, and Forest for the unending love and support, and to YOU in the audience for supporting live theatre.

Here’s the thing
This shows what the space looks like when there aren’t people in it. But the real show, the real art, is when it’s full of folks interacting with everything we’ve made and/or collected. When folks are handling and untangling, sorting scraps, casting on swatches that another person will continue. That’s the love, that’s the art, that’s the space. 
We couldn’t be more grateful. We couldn’t be more honored. Thank you thank you thank you

Artist Profile: CLAIRE RIGSBY & INDIA ROPER_MOYES | ā€œstitch by stitchā€ | Interactive Performance Installation 
.
An installation exploring the continuous cycle of making and unmaking through yarn. 
.
Claire and India are performers and fiber enthusiasts who connected over a love of yarn in theatre spaces. They are both graduates of PETE’s year-long Institute for Contemporary Performance. As fiber artists, they’re both interested in exploring the metaphors inherent in making something one stitch at a time. The flow of pattern. The undoing to make ā€œperfectā€, or the decision to move forward with a ā€œmistakeā€ immortalized in the work. @untanglethethreads @crunksby & @indiaromo 
.
Claire Rigsby & India Roper-Moyes will be performing their piece ā€œSTITCH BY STITCHā€ as part of the installation events of our 2025 Festival of New Performance - June 20th through 22nd, 6-7pm each night.

I don’t know what to say. I am beyond thankful for Summer 2018. It gave me life. Taught me lessons. Made me laugh til I cried. Made me cry til I cried harder. I am so thankful for all my little communities scattered around the country. You hold me up and make me a better version of myself. I love you. by @crunksby
