BERNICE PAET
I am a stage manager and interdisciplinary artist who creates installations and performance works that engage with design, including collage, light, and video projection. I enjoy storytelling through these forms and playing with how they can affect a space.
I have experience in stage management for theatre, dance, and music performances and I am dedicated to building and fostering positive relationships with the creative team, crew, actors, and audience. I am skilled in cue calling, effective communication, and proficient in QLab and ETC Systems.
My current curiosity is the impact of relationships in all the experiences and forms they may come in. I find excitement in the process of connecting with people and objects on a deeper level and the relationship that is built from them. Therefore, striving to create works that showcase intimacy that is built physically and emotionally. I enjoy making works that encourage the audience to take a closer look and build togetherness through themes surrounding mental health, vulnerability, and relationships.
Being a Filipino woman born from immigrant parents has led me to be silent in many phases of my life. My art is created as a form of expression that offers a space for people who have similar experiences to feel supported to be who they are. My artistic practice emphasizes the importance of being seen, even in the littlest of things.
