Ella is a freelance Director and Theatre Maker working in Bath and the Southwest. Her passion and love for theatre stems from wanting to give a voice to the voiceless, using art to actively contribute and influence current social and political discussions. She believes that creative collaboration and human connection are at the heart of great theatre. 

Ella has worked with Bitter/ Sweet Theatre Co. since 2014, taking their production of Watching Windows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. As an emerging artist, Ella has directed new writing as well as adapting literary classics.

Ella wrote and directed The Tragedie of 'Lady' Macbeth which debut at Burdall's Yard in September 2023.
Most recently, she has worked for Kirstie Davis as Assistant Director on Mark Ravenhill's Pool (No Water) and Movement Directed Jacob Hodgkinson’s Lung Water.

Ella works within artistic, linguistic and musical frameworks - using theatre as a stage for the amalgamation of all art forms to tell a story. As a gay woman, her work is fiercely feminist, championing the stories of the untold. 

Ella has a BA in Drama and Theatre Studies from the University of Kent and an MA in Directing from Bath Spa University.
