Lucy Beth is an emerging performer and theatre-maker, hailing from Inverurie Aberdeenshire. In December 2023, Lucy graduated with distinction from the University of Glasgow’s MLitt Theatre and Performance Practices Course. She was awarded a PGT Excellence Scholarship by the University. Prior to postgraduate study, Lucy served as a visiting drama lecturer at the North East Scotland College in Aberdeen where she was nominated for the Lecturer of the Year Award.

In addition to conventional performing and theatre-making, part of Lucy’s practice concerns dialect preservation. Lucy has a passion for creating and performing work in Doric as a means of continuing to render the dialect present. Lucy creates one-woman shows in Doric and brings these to life by performing in them.

Lucy’s passion for the privilege of communication has been deeply influenced by her role as a secondary carer for her brother, who faces the challenges of severe learning disabilities and autism, rendering him non-verbal. Through her work, Lucy wishes to emphasize the versatility of language, highlighting our ability to express ourselves creatively.

Throughout this creative residency at Cove Park, Lucy will be devising a new solo performance in Doric.
