clarisse bell (she/they) is a bilingual (ENG-FR) multidisciplinary performance artist, musician, and improviser based in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal. Their performance practice focuses on improvisational corporeal and gesture-based devised theatre. She uses the body as an exploration of the relationship between individual, character, and audience as a voyeuristic intrigue. They explore human identity and insignificance in the face of the absurd, the existential, and the sublime in nature. They graduated with their Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting for the Theatre from Concordia University (2026).
I work in rhythm, everything is in rhythm. The rhythm of breath, of movement—the pace of a practice. With a background in musicianship, and as a keen enjoyer of the awkward silence...
I want to find the cadence of a world. I am drawn to existential worlds, human insignificance when faced with the natural world, and the way everything belongs to the mundane: the NOW.
