S3 E5 - Ruby Phelan - Director, Writer & Activist

In today's episode, I'm joined by British Director, Writer & Activist Ruby Phelan. Ruby trained as a dancer and worked both as a choreographer and dancer across Europe, before attending the Fontainebleau School of Acting in France. She then studied an MA in Directing & Writing at RADA. Ruby worked on several sold-out London stage productions, as well as working as a Director's Assistant on the hit Netflix series 'The Crown'.

With her producer, BAFTA-nominated & BIFA-winning, Cheri Darbon, of June & Stella Productions, she is the inaugural Activist in Residence at the Feminist Centre for Racial Justice. For their short film, The Woman In The Wardrobe (made during their residency), Ruby & Cheri have partnered with the UN to fundraise for birthing kits to be sent to labouring women and health professionals in warzones.
