Zealous Hellions is a project of Mixed Blood Theatre to provide our community with real-time, face-to-face conversations between artists, cultural provocateurs, politicians, and thought-leaders in an intimate setting.
Past events featured:
- Four inimitable artists, Suzy Messerole and Signe Harriday from the gold-medal winning synchronized swim team Subversive Sirens and Sandra Richardson and Deneane Richburg from the genre-defying performing arts company Brownbody, discussed their art and activism; unique methods of development and performance; and making space for folks who have traditionally been denied access to pools and ice skating rinks.
- Ellie Krug esteemed writer, lawyer, school board member and human Ellie Krug reflected on the work being done to protect trans kids in schools and on her work changing hearts and policies from within systems of all kinds.
- Minneapolis City Council Vice President Andrea Jenkins, the first African American openly trans woman to be elected to office in the United States. A nationally and internationally recognized performance artist, poet, and transgender activist, Andrea spoke about art, race, politics, gender, and more.
