Theo Seddon (he/him) is a director, writer and performer whose work aims to alter perceptions of often taboo topics through storytelling, comedy and camp theatrics. His performances have been commended for their physicality, provocation and striking visual style.
​
He has directed multiple theatre productions and has assisted the creation of performances for over seven years. He makes performances for theatre and cabaret that use comedy to reflect on hard topics surrounding gender and identity. If there is a way to turn any hard topic into a camp, heavily costumed, silly performance - he will find it.
Theo advocates for the inclusion of transgender voices in all forms of media, and works to change the trans narrative to revolve around the complexity and value of trans identity
Theo is currently living in the south side of Glasgow. He was Sanctuary Queer Arts Newer Artist in 2021 and worked to develop his performance DAWN OF MAN into a performance film. He is currently in the research and development fase of his performance Hairy Beast. Supported by The Tron, Create:Inclusion and The National Theatre of Scotland. Hairy Beast will premiere in 2023.
