Xandra Nur Clark (they/them or she/her) is a playwright, actor, journalist, musician, and all-around storyteller. Raised in an interracial, interreligious, intercultural household, they have learned to both welcome and challenge all perspectives. Their work, which often fuses theater and journalism, is intimate, investigative, and urgent. Gently, and almost sneakily, Xandra aims to reveal what is relatable about the “other” and what is ultimately mysterious about the self. Xandra’s work has been featured at Dixon Place, The Tank, The Flea, Weeksville Heritage Center, Five Myles, Judson Church, Queer Abstract, and Brooklyn College, and been funded by NYSCA/Brooklyn Arts Council, Brooklyn Community Foundation, and Stanford Arts. Acting credits include at EST, Rattlestick, The Flea, The Lark/Noor Theatre, BAM, and The High Line. Xandra is a 2018-19 Queer|Art Fellow and a company member of The Bats at The Flea, Poetic Theater, and folk choir Ukrainian Village Voices. Xandra received the 2013 Award for Local Reporting from the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, was a 2018 Semi-Finalist for SPACE on Ryder Farm’s Greenhouse Residency, and is a New York State-certified Rape Crisis Counselor for the Anti-Violence Project’s crisis hotline.
