Performance artist Jessica Davenport takes us inside her daring exploration of Evangelical childhood experiences through her Creative Exchange Fund project. In this intimate conversation at The Medium in Springdale, Arkansas, Jessica shares how she's transforming Sunday School memories into thought-provoking performance art, complete with oversized puppets, songs, and Bible stories. Plus, she gives us insight into how she draws from theatre, dance, and theatrical design to create movement-based performances that examine personal and universal themes. Discover how this interdisciplinary artist approaches sensitive subjects with authenticity rather than parody.
