Get to know more about this year’s trajectories cohort…
The artists behind this year’s Trajectories are here, and we couldn’t be more excited to share with you who they are and what they’re all about.
Starting in September, the group will begin a programme that will involve engaging in workshops from numerous artists, encouraging them to delve deep into their own theatre-making practices and highlighting new ways to awaken their artistry. They will also be mentored by the Lead Artist (soon to be announced), who will support them in shaping their own piece of work, which will be featured as part of the public showcase at the end of October at Summerhall, Edinburgh.
So without further ado, let’s introduce you to the artists:
Amy Brennan-Clark is an actor and theatre-maker from Glasgow. She is one of the co-founders of Cuttin’ Aboot Theatre Co. Her work is rooted in exploring working class identity and aims to use theatre as a medium in which to discuss and protest urgent political circumstances. She works with various forms such as script, spoken-word, music and devising.
Cormac Myles is an artist and theatre-maker based in Bellshill. His practice explores working class culture and storytelling through disciplines including text and movement. His work exists within a range of contexts, from theatre and live performance to community-based projects and interdisciplinary collaborations, creating spaces for connection, dialogue and reflection through accessible, socially engaged artistic practice.
Lexie Ashcroft is a writer based in Aberdeen, and was named one of Scotland’s Young Makars in 2026. Starting off as a strictly-page poet, Lexie is now writing with live performance in mind. She writes in both Doric and English, exploring how the world of work interacts with the modern psyche. She hopes to push against the boundaries of poetic form and continue rallying against micro-managers wherever possible.
Sean Fullwood is a Glaswegian writer who uses poetry, music and sampled media to tell stories which tackle the difficult questions we face in an increasingly complicated world: What happens if we have no future? How can normal people make a difference? Where do we find meaning when it seems there is none? Grounded in political theory and existential philosophy, Sean’s stories reveal our deepest flaws while championing the resilience, solidarity and love we are all capable of.
Tsen Day-Beaver is an artist and actor from Fife, Scotland. She blends live performance, recorded media and visual art to explore our embodied relationship to land and memory, inviting the audience into an intimate sensory experience. As a classically trained actor, Tsen is experienced in traditional forms of theatre and is interested in combining this with her training in performance art to expand her craft into a unique and personal style.
We’ll be sure to keep you in the loop about everything that goes on, including more announcements surrounding the project, which will be coming your way very soon.
