Founder of Shoreham's Ropetackle Storytellers club, Amelia Ace has been a key part of the local storytelling ecosystem for many years, most recently performing the classic Gothic horror 'Jekyll & Hyde' as a storytelling performance. They are a mentor for the Step Up Commission alongside Shonaleigh and Amy Douglas, and have worked as dramaturg for shows such as 'When the Water Turns Blue' by Karin Lundengård, 'Promised Land' by Jon Norman Mason, and 'To Shame the Devil' by Marina Evans. A non-binary performer, they brought the story of queer deity 'Asu-Shu-Namir' to Xanthe Gresham's Goddess Lounge during lockdown, and worked with charity Global Learning London to create a teaching resource using storytelling to explore gender.

Amelia has toured nationally as an actor and internationally as a storyteller. Their plays and poems have won awards, and they are a talented artist and graphic designer with a flair for colourful and quirky designs. They are non-binary and asexual, and proud to represent the LGBTQIA+ community.
