Artistic Statement:
I believe in "art that hurts, provokes and rises in revolt to make the world a better place" (Zentrum für Politische Schönheit, Berlin). As a performer and theatre maker, I look for new ways to work collaboratively, cross borders and interdisciplinary boundaries that engage audiences in a twenty-first century way.
April Albert is an international theatre maker, performer and lecturer . She specialises in creating politically engaged performance in a range of contexts and settings.

She is also an academic and currently a free-lance lecturer in Theatre, Devising, Cultural Policy, and Arts Management in Naarm (Melbourne) .
