Claire Atkins is a multi-disciplined artist working across visual arts and performance.

Claire studied at the UNSW College of Fine Arts as a visual artist eons ago, and in the last five years has turned her attention to include performance.

This year, she is working with La Boite Theatre in Meanjin/Brisbane, devising and performing new works for stage, as part of La Boite’s artist development program, Assembly +.

She has worked as a performer and devisor, playing through-line characters for main-stage productions with HOTA’s home company Everybody NOW, for their award-winning roller-skating spectacle, ‘Roller Coaster’, and on major place-based works in NSW, including NORPA’s award-winning, ‘Love For One Night’.

For independent and community theatre, she has collaborated with Eddie Perfect in a reimagining of his comedy musical play, ‘Vivid White’, and has firmly cemented her reputation as a shapeshifter, playing a legion of characters in BTC’s stunning adaptation of ‘Tiny Beautiful Things’.

Claire is also a recording artist, and in 2020 released an EP of original songs, titled ETERNAL RETURN, co-produced with Paul Pilsneniks (Angus & Julia Stone, SilverChair, Powder Finger).
