What is Jessica Grace Wing known for?

Jessica Grace Wing was born on July 24, 1971, in New Haven, Connecticut. She grew up in Tucson, Arizona, where she attended University High School. A force to be reckoned with in the world of theatre and music, Wing was particularly active in New York City, but her talent and influence spanned across the country.

After attending Stanford University, she moved to New York City in 1997 where she co-founded the Inverse Theater Company and served as its resident composer. Her musical style was impressively diverse, ranging from bluegrass to opera, which is a testament to her versatility as an artist.

One of Wing's significant contributions was a full-length musical titled 'Lost,' and she was also responsible for the music and songs for various theater shows, including 'Othello' (1998), 'The Death of Griffin Hunter' (1998), 'Twelfth Night' (1999), 'Midnight Brainwash Revival' (1999), 'The Death of Don Flagrante Delicto' (2000), and 'The Burnt Woman of Harvard' (2001).

Beyond her work in theatre, Wing extended her creative pursuits into the world of film. She served as an assistant sound designer on Todd Solondz's film 'Happiness' and pursued an MFA in film at Columbia University. As a filmmaker, she wrote and directed several short films. In the music world, she was a member of the San Francisco-based improvisational ambient electronica band, Weird Blinking Lights. Here, she provided compositional, vocal, synthesizer, and effects performance. She also released several solo electronica compilations under the name Warm Blooded Love.

Wing's prolific career was cut short when she tragically passed away on July 19, 2003, in New York City. Her significant contributions to music, theatre, and film continue to be celebrated.
