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. Her solo performance work explores how the historical and cultural resonates in our current social and political experiences. Growing up in both the US and Europe, April is multilingual and has studied and performed in Germany, the UK, US and Australia. She is also an academic and currently a free-lance lecturer in Theatre, Devising, Cultural Policy, and Arts Management in Naarm (Melbourne) . She divides her time between Australia and Berlin.
I acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the eastern Kulin Nations on whose unceded lands she lives and works. She respectfully acknowledges their Ancestors and Elders, past and present.
