ABOUT
Originally from San Francisco, Phoebe Angeni is an emerging, critically acclaimed international artist. ​​​Angeni is passionate about exploring contemporary socio-political issues through boundary-pushing material in Classical, fantasy, and dramatic genres. Her most well-known piece, Ithaca, an autobiographical adaptation of Homer's Odyssey, received five-star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe, praise from Lyn Gardner, and featured two weeks running in Scotland's national newspaper, The Scotsman. Angeni is currently developing a new work, INCARNATE.
​​
A central tenet of Angeni’s approach to theatre is a practise of curiosity, international connection, and continual learning. Angeni trained intensively at both RADA in London and at the Stella Adler Studio in New York, simultaneously graduating from the University of St Andrews, Scotland, with a 2.1 BA Honours and dissertation Performing the Divine Feminine: Women, Theatre, and Social Change. This past year, Angeni worked as a guide at The Sydney Opera House and saw over 30 operas, ballets, theatrical and symphonic performances from around the world.
A textbook workaholic, Angeni values auteurship as well as collaborations on both sides of the curtain. Recent credits include Assistant Director of Sleeping Beauty at the Presidio Theatre, and Director/Line Producer of Presidio Theatre's short holiday performance at the San Francisco Symphony (Deck the Hall).

Angeni is also a poet. Her debut collection of 99 poems, Longitudes & Latitudes, was published in March 8, 2023 with Gatekeeper Press. Longitudes & Latitudes highlights nature and relationships through its irreverently playful and experimental style, witchy feminist energy, and literary-fourth-wall-breaking intimacy.

​
Teaching is another important element of Phoebe Angeni's practise. She has developed after-school theatre programmes for students age 8-14, specialising in physical theatre and autobiographical storytelling. Additionally, Angeni is a certified yoga instructor and enjoys leading friendly and inclusive classes for beginners and students with a range of abilities and body types.
