Performance

Scott Andrew’s performance work is rooted in a collaborative, queer-oriented practice that deliberately blurs the boundaries between the physical body, constructed identities, digital spectacle, and communal ritual. His projects blend high-fantasy camp, maximalist aesthetics, and critical social engagement.

This section showcases a range of works that manifest as live performances, immersive installations, and multimedia collaborations:

• Queer Icons & Mythology: Central to his practice are collaborations like Show Queen and I Am A Haunted House (with Jesse Factor), which excavate LGBTQ+ histories and divas through movement and technology. Other explorations of character and spectacle include The Diva Saga (with Veronica Bleaus).
• Collaborative & Social Practice: Often working in partnership, major projects include the NEA-funded performance series Fail-Safe (co-curated with Angela Washko and Jesse Stiles), the immersive wellness experience group, and the ephemeral, river-based interventions organized by The Drift (The Drift).
• Body & Digital Identity: Through his art collective, The Institute for New Feeling, projects like Avalanche, The Cloud, and the hyper-personalized therapy session seek explore the tensions between the celebrity image, the digital self, wellness culture, and embodiment in the 21st century.

These projects reflect a career dedicated to creating vibrant, humorous, and politically relevant multimedia events designed to transform spaces and engage diverse audiences.
