Guleraana Mir is an award winning writer, theatre maker and one third of female led theatre company, The Thelmas. She tells emotionally authentic stories that celebrate not stereotype, and speak to complex social realities in a fresh and disruptive way.
Her work involves professional writing for stage & screen, developing new work through devising, writing with young people and community groups, and supporting individuals and organisations to overcome barriers to creativity in order to develop their ideas and vision.
Guleraana's practice is heavily influenced by the work of Augusto Boal and centres themes of social justice in unexpected ways. She leads writing programmes for artists of all ages at a number of institutions, is a visiting practitioner at Central School of Speech and Drama, and has worked on participatory playwriting projects for institutions such as Almeida Theatre, Donmar Warehouse, and Old Vic Theatre. Creating theatre with young people makes her heart sing.
She sits on the Equality & Diversity Committee and has worked with the Disability Working Group for WGGB, and is a trustee for The Habbit Factory - an inclusive arts charity.
