Jo Hauge is a Norwegian live artist based in Glasgow. They make slimy, loud work, rooting around in sticky trans and neurodivergent logics with shameless, horny obsessiveness.
In 2021 Hauge was a recipient of the Jerwood Arts Live Work Fund and spent a year developing their practice into a sustainable, accessible and inherently neurodivergent practice. A key part of this is working collaboratively and slowly, as well as giving the artistic content the space to be as neurodivergent and original as it can be, slowly working out its own neurodivergent logics rather than relying on established ways of making meaning.
Jo also makes work with other people, and has collaborated/performed with Nicol Parkinson, Louise Orwin, Daniel Oliver, AJ Turner, Owen Parry and femme feral, among others.
They have shared work in the UK and internationally, for example at Døgnfluer Festival (Norway), D'CLINIC (Hungary), Centre for Live Art Yorkshire, the Barbican, Steakhouse Live, The Marlborough Theatre, Latitude Festival, South London Gallery, Battersea Arts Centre, Camden People’s Theatre, a nuclear bunker, a wedding, and a funeral.
They have an MA in Performance and a BA in English and Drama, both from Queen Mary University of London.
They’re 5’2”.
