The Neo-Futurist Theater

Niky Crawford is a writer, performer, and video artist in Chicago, IL. Their work spans audio tours for public parks, interactive flyers on street poles, and technical design for contemporary Irish-American ritual plays. Recently with The Runaways Lab Theatre, Niky produced the ‘Milking The Beast and Going To Hell’ new-play festival and developed the performance piece ‘The Explanatory Gap’ which was featured at the UCLA Rare Books School’s 2024 Queer Bibliography Conference. Niky comes- bloodied- from the maw of texas, montessori, and suburban escapism. She has horns, loves 2 lurk, and sleeps in few positions.
