Grace Amui

Playwright Writer Actor Deviser

Having recently graduated, Grace is a Black British multi-disciplinary devising director and playwright, curious about creating theatre to both represent and contribute to postcolonial, intercultural communities, particularly connecting to the African diaspora including Black British; African American and Afro-Hispanic cultures using both theatre and applied drama performed in the community. Therefore, building interconnectivity and relating current affairs in society through the arts. Grace would like to do so by connecting to boroughs, including YoungVic’s own Lambeth and Southwark communities.
