Hello! Welcome to Ellen Duckenfield's site. Ellen is a performer and writer working in experimental theatre and live art. She makes work as a solo artist and collaborator and aims to devise new and inventive ways to create performances that are entertaining and thoughtful. Ellen deals with herself as subject in her work with humour and frankness. She ponders 350 ways of dying, wears all the hideous clothes her mother ever gave her, makes drunken after dinner speeches and cooks lentil curry live on stage to the sound of goats bleating in the distance. play video (3.45 min.)
