About

💗About LaRaisha

LaRaisha DiEvelyn Dionne (she/they) is a boundary-breaking performer, educator, and creativity doula devoted to truth, transformation, and transcending archetypes. Raised in a richly artistic family and trained at NYU Tisch and Wayne State University, LaRaisha moves between worlds—blending writing, voice, movement, myth, and memory.

​

From Birdland to Goodspeed to Amsterdam, LaRaisha has lit up stages, voiced campaigns for Nickelodeon and Raising Canes, and embodied fantastic, complex humans in Waitress, RENT, American Idiot as well as expansive new works like The Great Emu War and Eddie the Marvelous. Whether leading a ritual of song and story, devising new theatre, or mentoring young artists, LaRaisha brings their whole self—bold, grounded, and rooted in belonging.

🌿 Personal Philosophy

Belong to yourself first.

​

This is the heartbeat of the work. Whether in the studio, on stage, or in the quiet spaces in between, I believe creative practice is a form of homecoming.

​

I draw from a diverse lineage of artists, techniques, and mediums. My process is rooted in autobiographical performance, group rituals, ancestral remembering and mythic memory writing. It invites others into artistic expansion—a brave space to return to what’s holy, electric, and deeply you.

​

I'm here to evolve your creative question. To help birth characters (old and new), national campaigns. jingles, and soul-centered projects in a way that is both grounded and magical. 

Because when we follow the thread of our own voice, we open portals—for healing, for community, for radical joy.
