Jordan Cowan
(she/her)
Originally from Connecticut and now based in Reno, NV, Jordan Cowan (She/Any) is a technician, intimacy specialist, stage manager and improvisor who graduated from Western Connecticut State University. She studied theatrical performance and design with a focus on the theater industry's relationship with consent based practices. She is currently studying with the likes of Chelsea Pace (Open: Intimacy Creatives), Laura Rikard (Theatrical Intimacy Education), and many different intimacy specialists to continue her practices in Intimacy Consultation and Choreography.
​
Though her journey started on the stage, it has expanded to behind and beyond the stage. Since graduating, Jordan has had the distinct pleasure of working with the creative teams at Hartford Stage, Long Wharf Theatre, the Goodspeed Opera House, and the Sharon Playhouse. Now having moved to Reno, she is incredibly excited to be a part of the creative staff at the Reno Little Theater & Good Luck Macbeth as well as an educator and mentor at the University of Nevada, Reno. Her hope is to continue to expand and grow the local community of artists while learning what these creative spaces can do to empower those who look to art for comfort, entertainment, and inciting change.
​
Jordan is looking forward to connecting with performers and technicians alike to create brave spaces and new, exciting works!
