Amber Ruby

Director Theatre-maker amberevaruby@outlook.com

I'm Amber (she/ they) - a theatremaker from East London. I create collaborative, joyful, and bold projects. I am driven by a passion for creating bold, inclusive, and thought-provoking work that amplifies underrepresented perspectives. Sharing stories that are generous in their thinking and inclusive both in the space they occupy and how they are shared.

I studied Drama Applied Theatre and Education at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. I have extensive facilitation experience working in partnership with Disney, Old Vic Theatre, The Unicorn Theatre, Royal Stratford East, Hoxton Hall, Discovery Children's Story Centre, and more.
