Ariana Calderón

Ariana Calderón is a Queer, Latine artist currently based in New York City, but originally from the suburbs of sunny Los Angeles. Her art most often takes the forms of poetry, playwriting, and drag artistry. Core tenets of Ariana's work include gathering, ancestors (both past and future), and anything and everything homemade. She often explores these fascinations in the context of her identities and artistic communities that share those identities. Ariana is a Spring 2023 graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, where she spent some meaningful years cultivating community at Playwrights Horizons Theatre School (PHTS). At PHTS, Ariana was a deviser/dancer in tell me How This Ends (dir. Maya Quetzali Gonzalez), and then moved toward producing her own projects, while also always wearing the hat of either actor, writer, or director. Ariana's most recent project is CITY/BODY, a play with drag about what becomes possible when Queer people step into their power. Ariana's other ongoing projects include Our Mango Street (a theatrical reimagining of The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros) and experiments in falling (a one-performer show of original poetry about love). In addition to producing her own work, Ariana has had the pleasure of being a dramaturg on friends' projects and performing her poetry at open mics around the city. Ariana believes fiercely in the power of new artistic work and is committed to celebrating under-sung intersectionalities. She is thrilled to be working toward this with Eli through Zine Almighty! When Ariana isn't doing art things, she can be found walking gaggles of dogs around New York City, having game nights with friends, and turning any leftover meal into tacos.
