About Raja Feather Kelly and the feath3r theory
RAJA FEATHER KELLY is the Founder and  Artistic Director of the dance-theatre-media company the feath3r theory (TF3T), for which he has created 18 premieres, most recently UGLY Part 3: BLUE at the Chelsea Factory.  TF3T is a collaboration of dancers, actors, filmmakers, musicians, photographers, and designers, with the mission to broaden the space for unheard voices and repressed histories, to bring into the theater those sometimes left out, and to use theater to provoke much-needed public conversations. TF3T does this by challenging its audience and its creators to collectively interrogate - and celebrate - its shared relationship to human empathy and personal ethics as expressed in and distorted by popular media. The company’s latest work, The Absolute Future, will premiere in 2024. 

Kelly is also a Broadway and Off-Broadway choreographer and director. His choreography can currently be seen in White Girl in Danger at the Second Stage Kiser Theater, written by Michael R. Jackson and directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz. He also choreographed Jackson’s Broadway musical A Strange Loop (Lyceum Theatre, premiered off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizon) winner of two Tony Awards, including Best Musical. In addition to Jackson and Blain-Cruz, his Off-Broadway collaborators include Branden Jacobs-Jenkins and Sarah Benson. Among many recent works are the Pulitzer Prize-winning productions Fairview and A Strange Loop. In addition to White Girl in Danger, current projects include Lempicka and The Listeners. Recent works include Bunny Bunny (UC San Diego) and Scenes for an Ending for the Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company. His accolades include Princeton Arts Fellowship, three Princess Grace Awards, an Obie Award, an Outer Critics Circle honor, a Creative Capital award, and many others.
