Keshia Palm
(she/they)
Keshia Palm is a storyteller seeking to spark connection and conversation through live, shared experiences in thoughtful and inclusive art/spaces. Keshia has developed and performed new works with IBPOC, immigrant, queer, women, non-binary and trans artists with companies from coast to coast. They are particularly interested in sharing stories with unconventional perspectives using theatre magic and highly integrated design. She’s a fan of flexible and collaborative processes — director, performer, dramaturge, playwright, and producer are all artistic hats they wear depending on the day! Since 2016, they’ve worked to bring artists together and support emerging and independent artists through producing ArtistProducerResource.com (2018-2021), and as Artistic Producer of the Paprika Festival (2021-now).
