About Sarah
Sarah Blissett (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist, researcher and dramaturg working at the intersections between visual art and performance. She is lecturer in Drama at the University of Plymouth where her research explores how site-specific practices can engage with changing ocean ecologies at time of climate crisis. She is interested in embodied ways of working with intertidal environments and multispecies communities in performance with a focus on algae and seaweeds. She is the guest editor of an upcoming issue of CSPA Quarterly on ‘Intertidal Encounters’ (Sept 2023). Recent work includes: Marking Tidetime (2022-present) artistic research project and audio walk, River Rememberings performance at Modern Art Oxford gallery (2022), How Nature Builds, workshop series at MAO (2019, 2022), Kelp Curing, a workshop series in Lofoten, Norway as part of the Lofoten International Arts Festival inaugural ‘Kelp Congress’ (2019).
I welcome enquiries from prospective PhD students, particularly those with research projects exploring reparative social-ecological practices, site-specific performance, feminist performance or contemporary live art and performance.
