TheatreMakers: Amelia Cavallo on Performance Art
“Being an artist in the world is a political act.”
This groundbreaking new series aims to inspire the next generation of practitioners by offering a unique perspective on achieving success regardless of background, gender, race or age. Created in partnership with Russell Lucas, a London-based artist who produces content for stage and screen, TheatreMakers provides extensive insight into the lives and careers of working artists who break down barriers to produce eclectic and thought-provoking theatre.
In this interview, Amelia Cavallo explains the difficulties and challenges of developing a career as a disabled, queer, female theatre-maker whose aim is to shine a light on the stories that aren’t often told. Cavallo explores her interest in approaching performance from multiple perspectives and disciplines such as music, acrobatics and burlesque, and emphasises the need for more accessible performances.
