About The Artist(s)

Alice Nelson holds an MFA in Ensemble Based Physical Theatre from the Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre. Nelson has worked as an actor-creator, playwright, director, producer, puppeteer, improvisor, mask maker and clown. She has written and toured solo shows regarding social and political issues and co-created feminist theatre productions. As a mask maker, she has supplied masks (Commedia, Emotional and Character) internationally for theatre troupes, High Schools and Universities.

She teaches courses in TYA (Theatre for Young Audiences), Theatre for Social Action, Applied Theatre and Improvisation. Nelson had the pleasure of being a compère and puppeteer for CAOS’ Slamalicious series over the past year. Working with so many talented artists has been a bright, inspiring light during a dark time in the industry. She is thankful to Xstine Cook and all the wonderful people at CAOS. And a big thank you to Olivier Balmokune, who said, “that’s a good idea, lets shoot it”.
