Our Teacher

Dante Gonzalez  is an NYC-based artist from Texas with a focus on costume design, writing, and performance. 

Dante brings color, queerness, and drama to the stage and screen, with particular passion for new plays, operas, and the occasional Shakespeare. 

To Dante, gender, like art, is to be carried fragrantly and flagrantly,
openly and preferably near an open flame. Many mediums and
many hats are Dante's happy place.
