Alice Eklund
"Hello! My name is Alice. I’m a South Wales-based Director, Dramaturg and Creative Practitioner, originally from the Cynon Valley. After studying Film and Television Studies at Aberystwyth University, I now work in the theatre industry and have worked predominantly on new writing for plays and musicals.
As a Welsh speaker, I’m interested in developing new bilingual pieces that push the norm and boundaries of Welsh medium theatre. I’m a queer, disabled artist and I’m working to achieve more representation and access for artists who need it. My work is centred around nurturing and platforming marginalised voices and unheard stories.
Any art should be like the perfect packet of salt and vinegar crisps; packs a punch and can be intense, but also has a sense of comfort. Maybe I just really like crisps."
