Named one of the most influential disabled artists by UK’s Power Magazine, Alex Bulmer has over 30 years professional experience across theatre, television, film, radio, and education. Alex is dedicated to inclusive collaborative art practice, fuelled by a curiosity of the improbable and deeply informed by her experience of becoming blind.

She is activated by obstacles, well exposed to the absurd, and embraces the disciplines of generosity, listening, time, and uncertainty within her artistic and personal life. Alex is Artistic Director of Common Boots Theatre, co-founder and artistic director of Cripping The Stage with The British Council, and the lead curator of CoMotion Festival 2022, an international disability arts festival produced by Harbourfront Centre.
