Hello! 

I'm Jesse Orr, an artist based in Vancouver, aka the unceded territory of the  xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. I grew up over the mountains in Vernon BC,  unceded Syilx territory. 

 

I've got a background in theatre objects & design (props, puppets, scenic painting, live-feed video, low-tech wonders such as crankies & cantastoria etc -- Assistant Props at the Vancouver Opera 2021 - present),  horticulture and farming (with a DEP in Horticulture and Gardening, then as a microfarmer at Make Do Acres 2021 - 2024), and various mysterious arts (tarot, "emergence" astrology, dream interpretation, sigil magic, ancestral healing etc). 

 

Within my career I've done nearly every role in a live production, from stage hand to performer, producer to builder. And I've always had various professional side projects on the go, such as a book, an outdoor installation, protest art, and a line of clay ritual magic tools (yes. It's a lot to explain!) 

 

Currently the side projects are: a wild herb labyrinth at the leased farm site, and Kirtan (sacred chanting) at Gordon Neighbourhood House in the west end. 

 

 

with love!

Jesse
