Description

A troupe of interdisciplinary performing artists from Pittsburgh that create original outdoor interactive music spectacles that have toured to Europe and Asia, performed Off-Broadway and on Broadway, from Lincoln Center to Stanford University, in over 250 venues in 36 of the United States and throughout Canada. Led by co-artistic directors Jackie Dempsey and Steve O’Hearn, Squonk creates joyful, boisterous events by fusing fantastical visual design with playful staging and high-energy original music. They have been awarded scores of grants, including 10 NEA awards. The New York Times called Squonk “Ingenious, Hallucinatory, and Hypnotic.”
