Jack Ferver (Arkadina) is a writer, choreographer and performer. Their performances, which have been called “so extreme that they sometimes look and feel like exorcisms” (The New Yorker), interrogate and indict psychological and socio-political issues, particularly in the realms of gender, sexual orientation, and power struggles. Weaponizing spectacle and stark naturalism, character and self, humor and horror, their performance practice is rooted in the shattering effects of trauma, and the various selves that arise and haunt the individual from that shattering. Their work has been presented throughout New York City, domestically, and internationally. Their 16th full-length performance work, My Town, a queering of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, will be at NYU Skirball November 21rst and 22nd of 2025. Ferver teaches at Bard College. jackferver.com
