Sarah Blissett
On 19 February 2025 by Deej_Fabyc1Sarah Blissett is a UK-based artist, writer and dramaturg working at the intersections between visual art and performance. She is lecturer in Drama at the University of Plymouth where her research investigates human-nonhuman entanglements in performance with a focus on algae ecosystems and intertidal ecologies.
Her interdisciplinary practice considers how site-responsive performance can reimagine human-nonhuman relationships at a time of climate crisis. Her work often explores walking and movement, as well as different methods of storying and/or cooking, to think through corporeal ways of digesting relations between bodies and environments. Her current research practice is concerned with intertidal ecologies and ways of working at the thresholds between land and water.
Sarah has worked with organisations including Modern Art Oxford, Totally Thames Festival, Arnolfini, Whitstable Biennale, Battersea Arts Centre, Lofoten International Arts Festival, Cultivamos Cultura, Little Angel Theatre, LADA, The Pigeon Wing and Platform 1 Gallery, among others.
Recent works include: River Rememberings at Modern Art Oxford (2022), Marking Tidetime at the Totally Thames Festival (2022), Kelp Curing at Lofoten International Art Festival (LIAF) (2019), How Nature Builds atModern Art Oxford (2019-22), Moving Together A/Part with Philosophy Unbound (2019), C with Singing Apple Press (2018), The Growing Puppet Project at Phytology (2018), Recipes for Earthly Survival as part of Water Bodies School for Evolution at the Whitstable Biennale (2017).
