Monel | MoldyMelon Productions

Monel (all pronouns) is a Corean-born, Portland-based multidisciplinary artist, movement educator, and physician. As MoldyMelon Productions, she creates comedic works that blur the lines between memoir, satire, and interactive theatre. Rooted in durational performance since 2010, Monel has expanded their repertoire to weave contact improvisation, butoh dance, and theatrical clowning into both performance and pedagogy. They have presented solo work at prominent venues including Portland Center Stage, 18th Street Arts Center, Sh'bang Arts Festival, Earthdance Creative Living, Secret Seed Studio, and the Electric Lodge. Recent mileposts include the debut of her first full-length solo show, Take Me To Your Leader, at Shaking the Tree in December 2025, followed by their second solo work, DOTTER, premiered at CoHo Productions in June 2026.
