Carly Rae Heathcote
Bio
Carly Rae Heathcote (United States, 1995) is a theater maker, writer and designer. Centering around forms of truth-speaking and prophetic speech, her work aims to call into question the potential of stories and narratives to act as salvation or imprisonment. Her interest lies in creating entire worlds that explore a perverse negotiation of doubt and belief, fascination and horror, likeness and estrangement. Her works include The House, BURN GLASS GATE, and The Incantation Ploy.
She has worked previously as a designer for Anna Franziska Jäger and Nathan Ooms, Bosse Provoost and Ezra Veldhuis, Jana De Kockere and Ferre Vuye, Luanda Casella, and Geert Belpaeme. Carly obtained her Master’s in Drama from KASK & Conservatorium Ghent, and a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts: Costume Design from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp.
Carly is supported by workspacebrussels as one of the house artists from 2023 to 2025.
