I'm Molly. A double gemini with a round face, a toothy grin, and big brown eyes.

it’s like looking in a mirror

I was born and raised on the shores of an inland sea, Pitu'paq (the Bras d'or Lakes) on beautiful Unama'ki (Cape Breton Island) and now live on a country road, on the shores of a great lake, on an island that no seems to call an island.

Over the past 25 years, I’ve done a lot of nice things with nice people; sprained my right ankle six times; offered something of value to some audience members at least some of the time; and (hopefully) made my collaborators laugh in the studio.

I create performance / texts / images / film / etc that propose alternative ways to be inside late capitalist society; art that aims to make us see all we already have and all we can already do and be for each other.

I have always danced and continue to do so, though what that looks like is evolving.

In the space between, I marry people.

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to make a life on the rich territory of the Anishinaabeg, Wendat, and Haudenosaunee peoples, and now in relation to the Kanien’keha:ka (Mohawk) community of Tyendinaga.

I recognize these nations as the ongoing caretakers of this land, and recognize my own role and responsibility as a settler as one grounded in respect, reciprocity, redistribution of resources, and allied resistance.
