Institution/Business Type: Artist / Creative (Individual)

Janice Perry’s work for stage, radio, and television has been published, screened at film festivals, and exhibited at academic and cultural institutions in the USA and Europe since she began international touring as a solo performer in 1981.

Perry has written and performed twelve 90-minute stage performances–most recently Naked at the Met, a multi-media performance about traumatic brain injury. She has performed at venues including London’s Hackney Empire, Munich’s Lach-und-Schiess Gesellschaft, Berlin’s Spiegelzelt, Frankfurt’s Gallus Theater, Amsterdam’s Kleine Komedie, Zurich’s Rote Fabrik, and New York’s Dixon Place.

She has performed at colleges and universities in the USA, UK, Germany, South Africa, and the Netherlands. As a Fulbright Senior Specialist and then a Fulbright Professor in Germany, she taught and performed at Goethe University in Frankfurt and the University of Wuerzburg.

Perry has collaborated on new works with Frankfurt-based video designer Philip Bussmann, and with Bussmann and Céléstine Hennerman’s 2+ Company with commissions from the Mousonturm in Frankfurt, Germany, and the Goethe Institute in Montréal, Quebec. Perry has led multiple international collaborations with emerging and established artists.
