Interest :

Jibz Cameron is an incredible performance artist who I met through a former professor (Scotty Wagner). Her work has been formative for the current LA performance art scene, a personal area of interest. I already know much of Cameron’s body of work, and she is quite a generous person who may be willing to make herself available to answer questions/fill in any blanks in information. Plus, her Wikipedia page is pretty sparse.

Entry :

Jibz Cameron has been doing Weirdo Night for years, although her Wikipedia page does not list a start date for when or where these variety shows were first hosted. Past Weirdo Night performers are also not listed, which I think would be a valuable thing to include to the Wikipedia page, as it will make her connections to other artists more apparent and allow for the opportunity to connect existing Wikipedia pages.
