Theatremaker, Actor
AUS
Hugo Williams (he/they) is an artist who works in performance across a range of collaborative formats. Using autobiographical tools, humour, and fiction, he is intent on reducing things to fragments and then scrambling those fragments.
As an Executive Producer and Performance Artist on projects, Hugo searches for where the boundaries of making performance are and how those boundaries can be illustrated on stage. Encouraging transparency, authenticity, and dialogue as tools of enforced liveness.
