Lucy Seale

I am a 24 year old British-Australian artist who grew up in London, Paris, and Perth before moving to Naarm (Melbourne) in 2014. I work as an actor, director, writer, producer, production manager, comedian and circus performer.

​

I am the Co-Owner and Co-Artistic Director of an independent theatre company, Shakespearean Jeans. My theatre partner, Nicola Dobinson, and I have staged five shows through the company, since founding it in 2017.

​

In 2020 I completed my Bachelor of Arts at the University of Melbourne, in Creative Writing and French. Throughout my degree I have enjoyed taking English and Theatre studies electives, as well as subjects at the VCA (Victorian College of the Arts) across acting, dance and lighting design. These past six years I have also been training at Women*s Circus, and currently specialise in aerials and tumbling.

​

I have a particular passion for Shakespeare and have been fortunate enough to study, perform in and work on much of the canon so far, including: Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Othello, As You Like It, Hamlet, Cymbeline, Coriolanus, Titus Andronicus, The Taming of The Shrew, The Tempest, and Much Ado About Nothing. I am slowly working my way through the rest of his works.

Some of the highlights of my practice so far include involvement in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2018 & 2019 and the Melbourne Fringe Festival, 2017 - 2019 & 2022 - 2023 where I've enjoyed seeing the enormous variety of shows Melbourne has to offer, and meeting passionate, like-minded individuals within the industry. I hope to continue to network and create art with many different people for years to come!
