Tarra Denise Jackson is a dynamic actress, dancer, and producer whose multifaceted career spans theatre, film, television, and live event production. Tarra’s studies in social and political science helped shape her worldview, which has been integral to her creative & artistic development. At her core, her artistic “device” is gravity—an invisible force that grounds people, ideas, and stories. With a belief in the transformative power of art, she continues to explore the vulnerabilities of the human condition.
