About Solitaire M.
Solitaire M. saw-luh-tare em (she/they/siya)
Hi there! I'm a transdisciplinary artist, PreK-5th gr. Education Specialist at California Academy of Sciences, Freelance Video Editor and SF Commons Public Access TV Producer. I'm a queer, neurodivergent, genderfluid femme, with lineages from Northern Luzon and the Visayas (Philippines), Sāmoa and Tonga, born and raised on Kānaka Ma'Oli land, O'ahū, Hawai'i, now on Ramaytush Ohlone land-San Francisco since 2003.
My Performance draws from improv, neo-futurist, music, burlesque, clowning, puppetry, movement, my Video practice flows into documentary, stop-motion, editing, projection, projection mapping and my Writing takes the form of short plays, zines, and poetry.
I'm a lover of San Francisco's fog, a curio cabinet collector, Russian Lo-Fi House music, a secret action-comedy enthusiast and an armchair rock hound. I take part in grassroots community actions, hyping up other performers and volunteering at my neighborhood garden/art space. I enjoy noodling around with various electronic and acoustic instruments, keeping fresh flowers on my altar, going to music and experimental art shows at intimate venues and walking around the city.

Vision
Through integrating holistic, reflective, dynamic, experiential and self-care practices as tools of support, I want to help clients affirm and source from the richness of the experiences or content that they already bring into the space.
I'm enthusiastic about amplifying and elevating artists, educators, community workers and changemakers, especially those from marginalized communities, by helping to unravel and manifest their ideas from start to finish.
Let's create something special and impactful!
