Helena Astbury

Helena Astbury works across image, text and movement incorporating film, poetry and choreography. Her work often depicts literary characters and bodies, particularly Gothic figures, and Helena works extensively with text on screen. Her signature motif of the interplay between text and movement on screen has also led to her work being exhibited as works of screen dance in festivals worldwide.

Helena studied European Theatre at Rose Bruford College, London. Alongside her making Helena gained a Distinction in her MA English Studies, University of Nottingham, graduating in 2016.

Helen is also one half of Artist Cinema maker The Astburys.
