Raven Midnight White is a visual and performing artist, a queer woman, an activist, a  southerner, and an ocean-lover. Her practice is that of improvisation, acceptance, the unknowing of herself and her surroundings, and the seeing of what happens. She creates performance collaboratively with artists to make each person the core of the work as themselves. She also creates larger than life paintings, drawings, and sculptures, incorporating her ideas of acceptance and wonder into every aspect of her work.
Raven was introduced to improvisation at Princeton University under the tutelage of Aynsley Vandenbroucke. Aynsley helped Raven discover that improvisation is one of the rare dance forms in which a lost person is celebrated and a queer body is welcomed. Improvisation soon became the foundation of all Raven’s creations – and her life, really.

Improvisation, to Raven, is a means by which any human, of any age, any ability, any experience, can connect with their body and discover what expansive feelings and possibilities exist in themselves. She believes that learning to move with freedom, with ourselves, is world changing. Thus, Raven is devoted to bringing the possibility of movement and self acceptance to any who wishes to listen.
