"Tuaca Kelly — Tilda Swinton-y even while performing as 'the entire cast of Star Trek' — seemed comfortable portraying everything from Queen Elizabeth to an 8-year-old nerd." — BackStage West

Creative Producer for Stichting Unwanted Words Project, Tuaca Kelly is an American poet, spoken word artist, emcee, and musician, most known for her unique wordplay, uncanny improvisation, unpredictable humor and ability to connect with the audience. Originally from San Francisco, she represents the Generation X as a fierce femmeDaddy. Inspired by the iconic leather daddies she encountered in her youth, as well as the enchanting world of Wonder Woman comics, Tuaca explores themes of love, intimacy, religious mysticism, personal development, unbridled sensuality, and the transformative power of sacred sex. With a dictionary in hand, she fearlessly dives into these realms. Unwanted Words 2nd Queer and Feminist Poetry Awards Nominee for Poet of the Year (2023), Tuaca lives and breathes the importance of poetry with the understanding it is not a luxury, but an essential experience for mental health and a vital pathway for the human spirit to express the soul's wisdom, touch ephemeral empathy and connect with others. From collaborating with fellow musical artists to joining forces as a co-founding member of The Los Hombres comedic improv troupe, and having performed and taught in North America and Europe, Tuaca has left her 43,5-size footprints and audiences with reciprocated love on numerous stages and studios including: Gay Pride San Francisco, McCallum Theatre, Cayman Rooster Radio, The Improv on Melrose, Highways Performance Space at the 18th Street Art Complex, Kunstinstituut Melly, MACA (Moving Arts Center Amsterdam), Meervaart Theater, KALEIDO x Queer Amsterdam, Milkshake Festival, Poetry International Festival, LantarenVenster, Van Gogh Museum and more. ​ ​Based in Amsterdam, Tuaca is very active in the poetry and spoken word culture and she is available to put life into your audio book, documentary narration, public service announcement or animation as a voice over and character talent. When otherwise engaged with the creative arts, Tuaca can also be found teaching and caring for others in her clinical healing practice.
