Star Mitchell (they/them) is a luminous force of rebirth—a transdisciplinary artist and native New Yorker boldly walking in their creative audacity.

Their current focus is community-centered, bringing movement as liberation into everyday life. Through their work as a Teaching artist (Present), National Reviewer for Young Arts (2024), and Programs Coordinator for Healing The Black Body (2024), to bring that focus into fruition.
