Next Generation, Royal Shakespeare Company

RSC - ®Ellie Kurttz

I trained at Stratford – Upon – Avon with the RSC in a young company of performers and creatives. This taught me key physical and vocal performance skills and practices which I have transferred into my craft as a creative. Working with industry professionals, I developed my ability to perform with clarity, articulate complex ideas, and work collaboratively with creatives when producing theatre. I Took part in their First Encounters touring project, and performed on the RST stage with a company of professionals which is pictured here.

 Tusk Tusk - ®John Preston

In the Bleak Theatre Company is a my very own company, sharing my own take on contemporary theatre, founded with a vision to uncover upcoming young actors and present emotionally resonant stories. Launched in early 2024, the company made its debut with Tusk Tusk by Polly Stenham—a gripping exploration of family, abandonment, and survival—performed to critical acclaim. With a commitment to intimate storytelling and powerful performances, In the Bleak aims to shine a light into the darker corners of human experience, creating work that is both thought-provoking and deeply human.

I designed, directed and lead the production of a short promotional film for a community transport charity who support vulnerable members of their community. I collaborated with Holsworthy Amateur Theatrical Society to bring to life a moving narrative which tackled issues of loneliness and isolation which the charity is working towards ending.

This promenade style piece of theatre saw writers performing character-based monologues routed to various beach locations across the county. We overcame environmental challenges and a tricky physical landscape to create an immersive experience for local audiences.
