Nina Fry
Nina Fry is a transatlantic actor, director and producer. She began as a series regular in a BBC children’s television series at age 12. After leaving the series, she gained a BFA in Acting from Drama Centre London and went on to act in film, theatre and television. Since moving to the US in 2010, she has worked as a director and producer of plays, opera and film as well as written, directed and produced her own work. She also completed an MFA in Directing at The New School of Drama.
Her work is driven by a desire to better understand the dissonance between society’s idealization of ‘the powerful woman’ and the limitations that owning this title chains us to. She explores ‘What is Womanhood?’ and the conflicting emotions of AWE and FEAR that she has experienced from embracing this identity.
Her process is greatly influenced by her life long passions of sound, movement and documentary. Mixing these forms together, she creates highly stylized productions that find their grounding from honest and truthful experiences. She has worked in film, podcast, cabaret theatre, opera, plays, movement, soundscapes and more.
