I'm Deletta Gillespie, a multidisciplinary performing artist who creates performances of educational, historical, and social significance with and for youth and traditionally marginalized communities.

My work bears the trademarks of my sense of the quirky and absurd as filtered through the lens of my spirituality. On my own, and through collaboration with other artists, my mission is to devise work that serves as a conduit for facilitating dialogue, communication, and understanding between peoples and communities.
