Artistic bio

Alex (she/they) is a Naarm-based artist whose work spans theatre-making, music and visual art. Living and working on unseeded Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung land, Alex is a graduate of VCA with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre-Making. 
Throughout her education, Alex has had experience as a director, writer, designer and maker/performer with an emerging practice centring the creation of diverse and meaningful representation within so-called “Australia’s” theatre sector. As a queer, non-binary and autistic artist, their advocacy for inclusivity currently centres the de-stigmatisation of Autism, specifically as it intersects with their existence as a young femme person. 
Her devised work currently explores the functions of feminism and the development of social norms in a post-Web 2.0 world. Alex’s work aims to engage a range of media, at present, puppetry and technology-forward making. 
With European colonial roots, Alex continually strives to deconstruct her ingrained colonial thinking and practices within her work. 
Her practice, separate to theatre-making, involves heading the band ‘BIG CAT’, releasing their debut EP ‘LIGHT WOUND’ in mid-2025. She is also an exhibiting artist, her practice primarily in linocut and oil pastel works examining her childhood, her identity as a young femme person and processes of decay and regeneration
They were awarded the Portland House Theatre Bursary for theatre excellence in 2023.
