Alice De Crais

Performance Artist Writer Director Storyteller Filmmaker

My name is Alice De Crais (she/her) and I’m a performance artist engaging with autobiographical
works that include a repertoire of installation, writing, film, body art and theatre. Through my
work, I mainly explore themes of childhood, safe space, memories, nostalgia, vulnerability,
and intimacy. I trained as an actress for nine years at the Stage Academy in Rome. Obtained
my BA (Hons) in Performance Design & Practice from Central Saint Martins.
