Ruby Phelan - Director, Writer & Activist (The Woman In The Wardrobe)
Description
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.
In today's conversation, we talk all about Ruby's days at acting school in France, to her experience on set of The Crown, what inspired the making of her short film, The Woman In The Wardrobe, her plans for the future, and much more!
