Canberra Actor, Producer, Writer, Filmmaker - RUTH PIELOOR
I Acknowledge the First Nations Ngunnawal and Ngambri Peoples as the traditional Artists and Custodians of the lands on which I live, work and play.
I pay respect to their elders past, present and emerging. Always was. Always will be. Aboriginal land.
I am an Australian of Dutch, English, and Irish heritage, born in Queensland, on Baneraba land, and have lived, worked, studied, and travelled all over this wonderful country, including Tasmania, Northern Territory, and parts of Sydney and greater Sydney. I am now proud to call Ngunnawal country (Canberra), home. I am the only daughter of published poet the late Janette Pieloor.
I'm an independent theatre-maker and multidisciplinary artist, passionate about developing and broadening my own skills, as well as inspiring and encouraging other local artists to support one another. Uplifting, empowering and elevating each other by sharing projects, teaching and employing each other is what I believe will strengthen and diversify individual arts practices across our region, as well as the greater arts sector.
I am the founding member of ACT4Reel. I am currently shifting my career to embrace the medium of screen, completing a Diploma in Screen and Media at the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) in 2023.
I live with my husband, teenage boys, cat, and doggy. When I'm not working, training, researching, teaching, preparing for 'the next big thing', or spending time with friends and loved ones, I hope to find myself connecting to country and the arts by gardening, being at the beach, bush walking, playing uke, singing, doing yoga, tucking into a good book, watching films, binging a series, or going out to experience live theatre.
