Stella Peterson is a Meanjin/Brisbane-based multidisciplinary performing artist, exploring life’s idiosyncrasies through character and play.
With a strong affinity for physical clowning and stage combat, Stella has recently showcased a wide range of skills in emerging works including Backbone Theatre Festival’s “HORSE PLAY” and La Boite’s ASSEMBLY Program. She has also performed in well-loved literary adaptations of Shakespeare (Macbeth, Romeo & Juliet), Roald Dahl (The Twits), and George Orwell (Animal Farm) while touring with Shake & Stir Theatre Co. across Queensland and New South Wales.
Alongside further film, voice, and theatre credits, Stella has demonstrated versatility across multiple performance-making roles in writing, producing, and directing her own projects. These include Celebrate All (Queensland Theatre, Undercover Festival), Almost, Maine (Anywhere Theatre Festival), and Women in Voice (QPAC Playhouse).
‘Stella Peterson is an effective Pony, competently canvassing a complex character’s duplicity and idealism. I consider Peterson also shows their best work during comedic scenes; They briefly branch into a different character, satirizing the middle-class’s indifference to climate catastrophe to hilarious perfection.’
