(Gah-yah-neh Khah-lee-gyan)
actor/writer/retired goth kid
Gayané Kaligian is an actor, writer, and fight director from Boston, now based in London.
Her work encompasses stage, screen, and voiceover, with a particular emphasis on diasporan theater. She is a member of the Armenian diaspora, which informs every aspect of her art and activism. She also has a degree in international relations and genocide, which also informs her art and makes her really fun at parties.
Her recent credits include Commonwealth Shakespeare Company’s Pericles and Apollinaire Theatre’s Romeo and Juliet, as well as the Student Production Award-winning music video Ivory. She also tours with Strange Kin Productions as part of the original cast of Joey Ellis’s Flying Ant Day.
She is one-half of the team behind Catalytic Productions, one-quarter of sketch comedy group Turnstile, and a vocal opponent to fractions in general.
