“Luca approaches her work with such rigor and generosity – served up with a huge dollop of joy.”

— Selina Thompson

Hello! I am a Newcastle based artist, making new socially engaged work that sparks conversations inside and outside of theatre spaces. I am an associate artist of ARC Stockton, Cambridge Junction and a movement practitioner with Frantic Assembly

I am a writer, performer and dramaturg that asks big questions with playfulness. I collaborate with other artists/companies and make my own work. Collaborators include: Bethany Wells, Chris Thorpe, Fast Familiar, Lizzie Klotz, Maria Crocker, Melanie Wilson, Paula Varjack, RashDash, Selina Thompson, Tanuja Amarasuriya, and Unfolding Theatre. 

My artistic vision is to create work that is softly fierce and fiercely soft. In process and final design, my practice revolves around the creation of community, holding space for conversation, humour and play. I make work that is accessibly experimental in form; and in content explores, plays with, and questions the messy, confusing bits of being alive. My work is rooted in intersectional feminism. It is for the adventurous, and also the shy. It is for those who are curious, believe in exploration,  and anyone looking for a safe space to explore big, confusing and sometimes difficult topics. 

I also makes public art, dance theatre, short film and sound art. My processes are rooted in spaces of listening where collaborators, participants and audiences are willing to be changed by what they hear.

“Luca has a performance style that openly invites the audience to consider the big questions alongside her, and brings them along willingly in the process of doing that.”
