Biography

Sif began cultivating theatrical skills on the family farm, while singing and performing for audiences of dairy cows. (It was said these performances were very moo-ving).  After graduating high school, they moved up North and earned a B.A. in Theatre and music minor from the University of MN Duluth. While there, Sif performed in opera, operetta, musicals, straight theatre, children's theatre, improv, and also directed, music directed, composed, worked as a teaching artist, and played in pits. 

After years in various theatrical venues, they took on a new challenge: performing in the land of heatstroke and outdoor privies, debuting in 2017 at the MN Renaissance Festival. Shortly thereafter, Sif moved to Minneapolis, and is currently a member of Ring of Keys, a queer+ theatre collective.

With a skillset including: music, singing, writing, martial arts, juggling, improv, and dirt, who knows what might come next?
