Liselle Terrett

Performance Artist and Director

Liselle is a neuro-divergent performance artist and director, challenging theatrical norms through a crip, queer, feminist, and radical approach. Her creative practice, mentoring, consultancy, teaching and writing centres on collaboration with learning disabled and neuro-divergent artists, addressing issues of exclusion and the binaries of ‘ability/disability’. Liselle co-founded Not Your Circus Dog Collective and co-created the award winning Not F**kin’ Sorry! She was awarded BAC’s Foyle Foundation Commission, 2022, creating Chatterbox on ADHD. Previously performing as Doris la Trine, she toured as a solo performance artist and has curated events including Wickedly Wild Cabaret for Women of the World, Southbank Centre, and Take Up Space Cabaret for Royal Court Theatre, 2018. In 2014, with Nick Llewelyn, Liselle co-founded Access All Areas’ Diploma in Performance Making. Liselle is an Associate Professor in Performance at University of East London

“Liselle’s performances are grotesque, powerful, political, delicate, filthy, shameful, all too personal and at the same time – glorious.”
