About me
Rachel O’Hanlon-Rodriguez (they/she/he/we/us) is a multidisciplinary performance-based artist, movement worker, facilitator, non-profit whiz, and lil guy living with C-PTSD. Their work explores generational cycles, borders, and sovereignty through historic inquiry, poetry, and comedy. Her poetry has been published in the Philadelphia Inquirer (2023), Routledge (2024), and Toho Journal (RIP, 2020). They’ve performed, built care practices, and provided research for theater companies across the Philadelphia region including Die Cast, the Bearded Ladies Cabaret, Power Street Theatre, and Delaware Shakespeare among others. A storyteller in search of healing, Rachel’s creative and teaching work draws from trauma informed care, transformative healing justice, decolonization and abolition. They create worlds of transformation, spaces of truth-telling necessary to reconnect one another to our curiosity. Rachel serves as a staff member at Spiral Q who uses the power of art to connect people, neighborhoods, and movements to their collective creative force for change.
