RILEY DAVIDSON (they/them) is a queer non-binary performance artist, dancer and theatre maker based in Berlin. Their work spans many genres including immersive/participatory theatre, clowning, drag, contemporary dance and durational performance art.

Through all shapes their work may take, vulnerability and agency of the audience members is integral to each piece they create.

Ranging from comedic to contemplative, Riley employs a critical lens towards heteropatriarchy and its counterpart capitalism and invites the audience to question what is taken for granted within these social constructs. Riley uses participatory theatre as a tool to reimagine new futures on a collective level.
