Grace Lambert’s performance practice centres on text, video, electronic music and live electronics to explore disconnection, control and alienation. Working between performance, live art and concert formats, her work places the performer within constructed environments. Often set in domestic settings, these works use sound, movement and projected systems to shape what can be seen, heard and felt in real time.

Pixel Tears (Camden People’s Theatre & The Ugly Duck)Pixel Tears (Camden People’s Theatre & The Ugly Duck)Pixel Tears is Lambert’s one-woman show, following a young woman navigating a post-breakup emotional landscape. Set in her messy bedroom within a possible future reality, she unwillingly enters an online therapy programme designed to help her ‘recover’ in five days. The work examines vulnerability and emotional exposure under digital mediation.
Alongside her solo work, Lambert has performed extensively as one half of performance duo Cheap Thrills with Noemi Gunea. Their practice combines economics, pop music and dance, and has been presented in gallery and institutional contexts including The Pleasance, Royal Academy of Arts, British Library, Battersea Arts Centre, Arebyte Gallery and the British Museum.
