Fox Banks is a performance artist and creator whose work lives between the street and the stage, the political and the personal. Neuroqueer and working-class, they use the body as a site of resistance, tenderness, and transformation — holding a magnifying glass up to the explosion, investigating how the smallest fragments and the largest forces intertwine to reveal what makes us fundamentally human.

A graduate with BA (Hons) from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland they make devised and collaborative work. Using their core skill set as a performance maker, mover and designer to create unique spectacles and projects from concept to creation. 

Fox has worked with the Design Council, Scottish Opera, Creative Scotland, Scottish Ballet, Motionhouse, Superfan among others as well as being a co-founder of Ukemi.

1. How can we reclaim spaces for performance?

2. How can we create counter-programs to mainstream festivals/events? 

3. How to support an art practice without public funding.
