Daniela N is a they/them born and raised in Bulgaria, EU, but somehow ended up living in Cincinnati, OH. They are a multi-disciplinary artist with over 10 years of experience, specializing in puppet theatre, draglesque and clowning who tours the fringe festival waters (and other creative waters). Daniela is the fabricator of all props and puppets used in their shows as well. Their artistic style is “finding beauty in the deemed ugly”. Daniela is a lover and a fighter for anything weird, bizarre and soul-freeing, and is currently saving money to move to the PNW (I love you, PDX!). To survive, they pay their bills working at an Art Museum (how fancy!)
