Sophie Waller (they/she) is a British-American interdisciplinary artist and performer based in the Netherlands. With experience in dance and physical theatre productions, their work spans theatre, performance, and video art. Central to her practice is an exploration of forms of physical expression, questioning what is "natural". Their work embraces the non-traditional, weird and instinctual with a playful and corporeal approach, often through the media of theatre, performance and video art/film.
The current focus of her practice is in queer and feminist sci-fi and speculative fiction. Looking to learn more about how the weird and imagined can influence and reflect on the present.
In BLOB collective (together with artists Dualtagh McDonnell-Grundy and Biyi Zhu), she is working on interactions between the body and technology in performance, in an environment increasingly influenced by and questioning the role of technology.
Queer Tears (2025) is a short film which was screened at De Nieuwe Vorst for LI-MA Bring Your Own File in collaboration with Pop Up Cinema in February 2025. In January 2025 it screened at De Vaillant Theatre in The Hague and Club Solo in Breda.
Queer Tears is an exploration of identity and the misalignment between how it feels to be queer and societal impressions of queerness.
‘they are always present but they never arrive’ (2024) is a performative dance solo piece created with the School of Disobedience in Budapest in November 2024.
It portrays queer identity and liminal existence, living as something in-between and finding freedom with a dissonant identity. It depicts the need to find representation within the self because of lack thereof in the 'outside world'.
BLOB is a multidisciplinary collective based in The Netherlands consisting of artists Sophie Waller, Dualtagh McDonnell-Grundy and Biyi Zhu. Through the fabrication of different technologically bound spaces BLOB’s aim is to examine the physical encounter between these two entities, investigating the consequences of this relationship in terms of both the possibilities and limitations it can offer the body.
