Olive Pascha, United Kingdom 2026



Olive Pascha is a writer, director, and community artist working across theatre, film, and photography. Her practice has been shaped over twelve years through work and study in the UK, India, Russia, Europe, and Lebanon. She is drawn to unanswered questions and to the spaces, silences, and moments often overlooked, believing these reveal human truth. Olive is curious about who we are right now, rather than who we were or hope to become, and believes showing our contradictions makes us most endearing.

Much of her work is formed through the unexpected and non-traditional, and many stories she seeks to tell are grounded in research through listening to and observing people. Alongside her artistic practice, she has seven years’ experience as a part-time carer, which continues to shape how she notices, listens, and creates. She sees care as a radical form of attention and humanity and believes it has shown her essential ways of being that she aims to bring into her artistic practice. Olive is currently completing a part-time master’s in philosophy, offering a lens through which she continues to question.


Resisting the Urge to Perform

This workshop invites participants to explore how to create real, unpredictable moments on stage, without over-defining intentions or relying on polished delivery. Rooted in curiosity, openness, and honesty, it encourages performers to let go of control and embrace the uncertainty that makes live performance vibrant.
Participants will investigate how to deepen character connections while remaining vulnerable and ambiguous, noticing the difference between performing and simply being. The session emphasises stillness, silence, and the mundane as essential elements of presence. Through improvised scene work, private character prompts, and exploring everyday, often overlooked spaces, participants will experiment with using reality itself as performance material.
We will explore sitting with multiple feelings at once, embracing contradictions, and resisting the urge to signal emotions outwardly - allowing only the character to know. We will also examine what it means to welcome the uncomfortable emotions we already experience in life, such as shame, jealousy, or fear, and reflect on them rather than wishing they weren’t there. By observing and understanding these emotions, participants can use them as tools for creativity, empathy, and authenticity, allowing characters to be inhabited with honesty, nuance, and subtle human connection.
