The Saint Disruption Podcast provides a platform for young poets and spoken-word artists to share their works, collaborate with noted creators, and engage in deep dialogue with thought leaders. Each episode honors the power of poetry and music when brought together in the spirit of collaboration and positive change-making. SDP came from the inspiring project that partnered John Medeski and Jeff Firewalker together known as Saint Disruption. The roots of the project came in musical creative connections with a wide variety of artists, vocalists, and producers. After working on a piece with renowned spoken word artist Umar Bin Hassan, John and Jeff decided to give a broader platform for connecting the sound to the word. This gave birth to the Saint Disruption Podcast.

Multidisciplinary artist Gina Cornejo (she/they) is an Americana Peruana and Queer identifying creative. Aiming for a pinnacle of honesty to be revealed by curating intimate autobiographical theatrical performances for our collective healing, the mediums they specialize in are writing, immersive solo performance, and storytelling. For 17 years, claiming Chicago as her artistic home, Cornejo contributed her writing, choreography, and theatrical concepts to Teatro Luna, a multiple Jeff Award winning Latinx/WOC company. Navigating the art scene in Asheville, North Carolina, she was selected for the First Draft Residency at Revolve Gallery (2021) debuting her deviously detailed solo show “when sugar was sugar was sugar,” alongside her pandemic-born collaborative short film “Atmosphere.”

“Dirty Laundry,” Cornejo’s ambitious writing project that unapologetically discloses the irreverent unraveling of her marriage and divorce was coupled with innovative choreography and cinematic elements from Stewart Owen Dance and videographer Josh Finck. Cornejo was the first artist selected for the Story/Arts Residency at Story Parlor (2022), where she showcased the visually captivating 35 minute collaborative film while amplifying her solo performance in an immersive theatrical setting of her conception.
“Dirty Laundry” was recently featured at the Asheville Fringe Festival (2023). Cornejo proudly resides on the advisory board of Story Parlor. This summer she will be joining the team at American Players Theatre, in Spring Green, Wisconsin.
