Artistic Statement

My name is Ella Edmundson and I am an artist. 

As artists, we have the opportunity not only to entertain, but to open important discussions and to confront the toughest issues facing our society. I want to create work that has the potential to change the world - by touching hearts, capturing minds, and opening eyes to see other people in new ways.

Attached is my artistic resume. For inquiries about my work, please reach me through the "Contact" tab. 

Recent Projects

In the fall of 2025, I enjoyed acting in my first Shakespeare production, Twelfth Night, through the University of Texas Theatre and Dance Department. It was a joy working with a cast of my peers under the direction of Lucien Douglas. 

I also had the opportunity to serve as Assistant Stage Manager for a student written and directed show at UT in the fall of 2025. Working behind-the-scenes on The Horribly Agonizing Three Day Death of Father James gave me the chance to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. 

In 2023, I was named a Young Arts Winner in Theatre, through the  U.S. Dept. of Education's National Foundation for Advancement of the Arts.
Entrance into this prestigious organization begins with a highly competitive application process, judged by an esteemed panel of judges through a rigorous blind adjudication process.   
After intensive training at Young Arts Week in Miami, I was named a U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts Semi-Finalist.  

ENDLINGS

I was excited to be part of Cry Havoc Theatre Company's final production, Endlings, in February of 2023. Before closing its doors, the Dallas theatre company sought a more empathetic and equitable world. It was started to create art that amplifies the voices of young people and serves as a conduit for community dialogue.
During our season, our cast focused on climate change and its impact, creating a play with devised movement and monologues with content taken from interviews Cry Havoc conducted with climate specialists.
