A glance at a few of Ash’s projects— the Indie kind, the sweaty-black-box kind, the emotionally devastating kind… proof that drama school finally paid off!
About Ash
Background
With a rich background in theatre, film, and choreography, Ash brings a distinctive, movement-informed perspective to acting. She is a proud member of both Equity and SAG-Aftra, and holds two degrees in Acting.
On screen, Ash has refined her craft with the industry’s best, including Berg Studios, Margie Haber, and Lesly Kahn. Her theatrical footprint spans national tours with Casa Mañana and B Street Theatre, most recently appearing in Dissent at the Edinburgh Fringe under the direction of Cassandra Ambe.
Beyond the spotlight, Ash is a prolific writer and producer with a knack for bringing complex stories to life. Her original works—including the award-winning Desert, the feature film Signs of Life, and the play Pan’s Asylum—are currently in various stages of pre-production, with Pan’s Asylum set for its 2026 London premiere.
When she isn't performing, Ash is dedicated to the next generation of artists. Her extensive teaching portfolio ranges from Page Parkes and the International Performing Arts Academy to working with at-risk youth through ActUPs. As a specialist in somatic practices, she now leads workshops worldwide, helping performers bridge the gap between physical impulse and emotional truth—all while fostering a safe (and likely very high-energy) creative space.

Current Projects
It's been a busy year already- mainly because Ash is allergic to rest! After starring in the upcoming feature film The Viewing (arriving later this year), she shifted gears back to the stage. Ash's new play Small Extinctions recently premiered in London to a flurry of 4 and 5-star reviews, and her "creative toddler" of three years-Pan’s Asylum might finally be making its grand debut in 2026- but it's all hush hush now. Also, be sure to catch her acting opposite the legend Bruce Dern in the Western, Bad Men Must Bleed, now available on Roku and Prime.
Education & Certifications
2009
Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting
Abilene Christian University
Thanks to her background in dance, and perhaps the way her face looked, Ash earned her BFA by playing every single prostitute in the department’s repertoire. It was a running joke, and it was a rigorous education in character work, heels, and the structural integrity of a corset.
2023
Master of Arts (with Distinction)
East 15 Acting School, UK
This high-brow chapter included intensive Somatic training under Christina Kapadocha and also a Classical Residency at Shakespeare’s Globe, which involved a healthy amount of "Classical Shouting" in the very spot where the Bard intended people to be yelled at. She now holds a degree that officially proves she's as comfortable with iambic pentameter as she is with a high kick.
2025
Physical & Immersive Residency
Temper Theatre
When she isn't busy on a film set, Ash can usually be found throwing herself at walls or overanalyzing her own cellular structure. She recently completed a residency in physical and immersive theatre with Temper Theatre, where she refined the art of telling stories through high-octane movement and the occasional strategic bruise.
Current
Training Somatic Movement Educator
Body-Mind Centering®
To ensure her brain stays as exhausted as her hamstrings, Ash is currently deep in training with Body-Mind Centering®. She is working toward her Registered Somatic Movement Educator (RSME) certification with ISMETA, which basically means she’s learning how to inhabit her body so intensely that even her internal organs have stage presence.
