Performance Artist
Most recent work
Liselle Terret was at the Theatre Centre in Toronto in May 2022, as part of the multimedia live art festival « Hybrid By Design », where they presented on the following questions:
How can we disrupt the mainstream- conventional- rehearsal/devising process through a feminist, Crip and queer framework in order to create accessible and inclusive performance approaches that ultimately seduce and implicate audiences in active re-considerations of their own lives?
How can theatre-making processes be deployed to enable, include, champion and celebrate the creativity of neuro-diverse and learning-disabled artists?
Director
In recent years Liselle created and directed the show NoT F**kin' Sorry at the Soho Theatre with the theatre company she directs and performs in, called "NoT YoUr CiRcUs DoG CoLlEcTiVe (the Circus Dogs). It was described as "An evening of shameless sexy punk crip cabaret. With luscious lip syncs, sweaty dances and verbatim stories, have your preconceptions rattled as we take you to the edge."
