Beatrice Benedek is a multifaceted theatre practitioner and freelance artist. 

With a theatre experience spanning over a decade, she’s performed, directed, and facilitated theatre workshops in the UK and Romania.  

Beatrice’s creative interests are wide-ranging. These can be best seen translated in her directed work. Using smart colour & lighting design, movement and choreography, slick and clean set-designs, and non-verbal communication, Beatrice delivered gripping and thought-provoking plays, which left audience members eager to better understand subject matters out of their daily reach.

Her in depth theoretical knowledge gained during her BA studies in European and International Relations, paired with a praxis-orientated MA in Performance Making, and hands-on backstage experience in UK and European theatres, have equipped Beatrice with necessary skills, knowledge,

and experience to reimagine classical, contemporary, and new theatre work for today’s audiences.

Curious by nature, Beatrice has recently expanded her work in the British movie scene, producing her first short film in collaboration with UK, German and Romanian filmmakers, enhancing thus her artistic ambitions.

Her future work will focus on the processing and understanding of difficult historical episodes in Eastern Europe, enabling a better appreciation of these through the platform of performing arts. Her ultimate goal is to create dynamic places of remembrance through the means of theatre, folklore and musical storytelling, leaning heavily on her Transylvanian heritage.

​

Having worked as ifa* cultural manager at the

German Theatre in Szekszárd, Hungary, Beatrice returns to the UK with a fresh take on her company's future, her own practice and a strengthened desire to collaborate with UK- and mainland Europe-based artists.
