Introducing: Lou Campbell

The Athena Collective is honored and proud to introduce you to our newest contributor, Lou Campbell.

Lou Campbell (they/them) is a performance artist based in Halifax, NS. Their practice traverses a wide range of disciplines including poetry, sound art, improv, comedy, and the odd clown collage when a worldwide pandemic shuts their entire industry down.

They create work that unpacks the inner workings of their own gender and sexuality, usually manifesting in the open sharing of mortifying past mistakes. They also co-run a cross-province collective based in Toronto and Halifax called Probably Theatre. This collective creates performance work devised from poetry, and runs an event series called “Probably Poetry” that facilitates the creation of new work from themselves and other artists.

Follow Lou on Instagram to learn more about their work, and keep an eye out for their incredible performance pieces on this platform!
