Jess Beck is a soprano, an enthusiasm junkie, a reader, writer, dreamer, practical thinker, and advocate of the oxford comma. You may know her as "the one who can't stop moving" on stage or "the one who probably left her water bottle/sweater/rain pants/brain" in the green room/at rehearsal/in the van.  When not preaching with the choir, she can be found making documentary films, resisting, loving, teaching, hugging, writing, bicycling, flirting, and as often as possible, laughing.

The Rules (TR) was an activist collective that existed from 2012 to 2019. In its eight years of existence it focused on addressing the root causes of inequality, poverty and ecological break down through narrative and cultural interventions. TR worked directly with social movements to inform the nature of interventions, and worked with journalists, think tanks, independent researchers and others to reframe and amplify alternatives to help midwife post-capitalist realities. Alnoor currently lives In Costa RIca.

Shilpa was irrevocably drawn to the cries of "Strange-a-lujah!" and "Change-a-lujah!" that she heard shouted through the streets of New York City soon after she moved there in 2003; though, at the time, she did not know who the strange preacher man was who shouted them.  After attending a performance of the Stop Shopping Choir in the halls of St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery and witnessing Reverend Billy perform an exorcism on a Starbucks coffee cup, Shilpa could no longer be a stranger to this strange community. Shilpa is a civil rights attorney, representing those seeking to vindicate their rights to live authentically, to work and to enjoy public space free from discrimination. She is a dedicated defender of the First Amendment and a staunch advocate for the emancipation of imagination everywhere. She lives with her partner, her two children, three cats, and a bunch of quail in Brooklyn.
