Elizabeth Peace is a multidisciplinary artist, facilitator, and producer from Thamesmead, South London. Having graduated from the University of Manchester with a BA in Politics, Philosophy and Economics in 2019, and obtained an Acting Diploma from the Oxford School of Drama in 2020, she is currently working as an actor, writer & freelance creative producer with projects in theatre & film whilst being a part-time carer.
​
The motivation behind her work is an enduring interest in people; in the human spirit, its emotional resonance, and the way over time it manifests in our relationship with others. Her recent producing work includes, The Wicked Problem, a co-production with Contact Theatre supported by Season for Change, Julie’s Bicycle, Artsadmin, and C-Change. Match/Play, a tiata fahodzi theatre programme created to celebrate its 25th anniversary and The Golden Boy, a short film exploring autism within the Black-British community executively produced by the Academy-Award winning, Slick Films.
As an actor, she has starred in numerous short films, working with Qatari-American artist, Sophia Al-Maria, in Beast Type Song (2019) & Tiger Strike Red (2022) and featured in motion-capture games under Supermassive Games, The Devil In Me & SwitchBack VR.
​
Often referencing her experiences as a 1st generation immigrant, Elizabeth touches on the African diaspora, racial environmental justice, intergenerational trauma, Black British history, and the LGBTQ+ community. Currently, she is supported by Purple Moon Drama, Arts Council England, and Foundation for Future London to research and develop a new epic play, The Women's War, as part of an artist incubator exploring the untold rebellion against the British Empire by Igbo women in 1929.
​
She is excited to start developing a new performance piece centred on Black women's experience of anger, PTSD & mental health as Associate Artist at Bathway Theatre.
