Author: Anna McKelvie
Anna McKelvie is an actor and poet based in South London. After training at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts & Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts, she co-founded Ginger & Blonde Theatre, of which she is Artistic Director, a company that explores themes of equality and feminism. Their debut production “Is That All There Is?” had a sold out run at The Bread & Roses Theatre in 2019. Her poetry has been published by SLAMinutes in their anthology of 100 writers discussing mental health through the pandemic, with all proceeds donated to Mind charity. Since the theatres have closed, Anna has been focusing more fully on writing poetry, exploring mental wellbeing and identity during lockdown. She looks forward to integrating the two disciplines across various mediums, especially when live events are back on in the future. Follow her on Twitter @anna_mckelvie and Instagram @annamckelvie
