Pax Ressler

Pax Ressler (she/they) is a non-binary transfemme composer, organizer and cabaret theatre artist who uses music as a participatory tool to invigorate our collective imaginations towards social change. Pax invites the performer-audience collective to rehearse their values and imagine a better world together through political cabaret (The Bearded Ladies’ “Contradict This!” and "GIRL DOLLS: The American Musical" with collaborator Jackie Soro), communal singing with Rise Choir Collective (@risechoircollective), and trans and non-binary advocacy in the Philadelphia theatre sector with Genderfunk Philly (@genderfunkphilly). Pax is an F. Otto Haas Award finalist and Barrymore Award-winning composer whose work has been performed around the world, on the streets in parades and protests, and in elite cultural institutions like The Guggenheim Museum, Woolly Mammoth Theatre, and La Mama ETC (Jarbeaux’s “Rose: You Are Who You Eat”). paxressler.com @paxressler
