a performance artist

Twenty years of creating performance work for the public means Carrieanne has produced work from many different briefs, collaborating with multiple artists and venues, experiencing different theatre roles and deeply exploring herself through these processes. Her BA in Contemporary Performance Practices and MA in Theatre Studies gave her a foundation of performance practitioners and concepts to explore, but she enjoys bringing ideas from unexpected places into her creative process. As a solo artist she delivers poetry and part scripted part improvised performance works. She has a distinct vocabulary but likes experimenting so every performance brings a new element of play
