ANNALIESE BROUGHTON

Annaliese Broughton is a theatre-maker and performer from Ayr, Scotland. She experiments with ways of storytelling through multi-media art forms. Annaliese believes it is necessary to make performances about important issues such as mental health, sexual abuse, childhood trauma and poverty with the hope that it initiates discussion and ultimately change.

Her most recent work combines film, poetry, personal endurance tasks and Marilyn costumes as an attempt to make sense of the taboo, awkward and messy things that we can find difficult to articulate - enquiring “How can traumatic pasts empower us?”.

Annaliese’s recent credits include: Don’t Get Your Vicars in a Twist (Ayr Gaiety, 2020), The Devil’s Greatest Show (Ayr Town, 2019) and Every Part of It (Dundee Rep, 2019 - as part of Scottish Youth Theatre’s MAKING SPACE programme, mentored by Drew Taylor-Wilson).

Annaliese also writes stories for children, facilitates performance workshops and is a teaching assistant in the Supported Learning Centre at Queen Margaret Academy, Ayr.

PCS Credits: CULTIVATE INCLUSION (2022), Clown - BIPPITY (2022)
