Siobhan O’Loughlin is a Brooklyn-based performance artist, activist, and filmmaker. She is the recipient of The New York Innovative Theatre Award for Outstanding Solo Performance, a grant recipient of the Network of Ensemble Theatres, a Moth Story Slam Champion, a fellow at Guild Hall of East Hampton, and an international teaching artist, from southeast Asia to refugee camps all over Greece. Her site specific, immersive piece, Broken Bone Bathtub, toured globally for five consecutive years with over 600 performances in 40 different cities, and clocked top ten lists for theatre experiences from the Baltimore Sun, The San Francisco Examiner, and The Houston Chronicle. Siobhan is currently in the editing process for her feature-length documentary about her experience with Broken Bone Bathtub on the road, and the journey of the artist in a capitalist culture. She quickly pivoted in the Covid-era to perform weekly in her interactive serial digital art experiment, Please Don't Touch the Artist, where she invites a community of guests to explore intimacy and vulnerability through her screen, for over fifty performances since March. In September 2020, Siobhan organized The Misfits, a group of progressive artists and activists (and mostly Bernie and Warren supporters) going rogue to help Joe Biden take the White House back from the clutches of fascism.
