Hello! I’m Leela Gaunt, a theatre and film performer trained at Lecoq with ongoing projects across stage and screen. I enjoy collaborative storytelling, blending movement, music, and character work to create engaging performances in both live theatre and cinema. I value ensemble precision and the energy that comes from working with dynamic teams, from small shorts to larger theatre productions. I’m fluent in English and French, and I play violin, bass guitar, and piano. I’m drawn to projects that explore memory, narrative, and emotional truth, and I thrive in multidisciplinary settings that fuse theatre, film, and live performance.
