Isabel Macintosh

Isabel Macintosh is an actress, writer and director whose practice bridges the gap between literature, poetry and movement. With an upbringing that spanned several countries, Isabel’s understanding of the world informs the depth and empathy she brings to her work. With a First-Class Honours degree in English Literature and American Studies from the University of Manchester, her artistic vision is rooted within the written word: shaped by poetry, political discourse and complex narratives.

Isabel has performed in numerous productions over the last few years, including work at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and has written and directed her own original work. Currently training at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Isabel is continuing to develop her practice for nuanced, embodied storytelling that lives in the body, challenges the mind and stays with the audience long after the light comes up.
