Olwen Davies is a performance maker, actor and writer. She is a solo practitioner often collaborating with other artists and groups in order to produce performance. Olwen also acts in external projects, most recently an independent feature film 43 Pounds, now in post-production.

Olwen graduated from De Montfort University in 2010 with a Drama Studies degree. While studing she gained experience in acting, writing and performing for both theatre and film. She performed in productions associated with the university, for other external bodies and co-founded the performance company ‘Southpaw Junction’, who presented at the Hatch festival 2010 both in Nottingham and Leicester and the IUTA 8th World Congress. As presenter on Demon FM she also developed skills in production and presenting.

Olwen then went on to study an MA in Drama. Following a mentorship with performance company Zoo Indigo, Olwen performed in a new site based work by the company as part of Nottingham European Arts and Theatre Festival in May/June 2011 and continues to work with Zoo Indigo in the devising of their new performance ‘Blueprint’.

Olwen has devised and performed original work since 2009. Her solo work Fridge Logic was performed at the Circuit Festival 2011 and the Hatch Festival 2011.

With an interest in the re-possession of cultural images on screen, comedy and the uses of recorded and live moments in performance, Olwen creates work that explores the audience’s relationship with the screen and with each other.
