My name is Esther Davies and I’m a storytelling enthusiast with a basis in dramaturgy of classical theatre, later academically educated in film and creative writing for video games and other interactive forms. I'm a dramaturgy graduate who also attended screenplay workshops and a writing course at Nottingham University.
I'm a native English speaker born and raised in Croatia. I am 27 years old. I work as an English teacher for young children, teaching English through stories, books, and writing. My mostly theatrical background gave me a lot of insight into character development, making me pursue character-driven storylines. My love for fiction and books gave me a rich inner world which helps with my worldbuilding.
I've been writing plays for group participants for ZKM, the Zagreb Theatre of Youth, since I was 13 years of age. I inhale books, write short prose and fiction, and have been selected as a candidate for short story contests. I also study philosophy and immerse a lot of philosophical streams of thought into my work. .

I am currently working on a Transmedia project, which will have a theatre play as its main domain, and have a narrative extension in the form of a video game concept.

I discovered circus performance in 2016. Since I was not only indulged in writing but also performing and acting, the discovery of object manipulation was an additional portal for me to express my ideas through movement. I started working on traffic lights back in 2018., evolving onto the streets of the coast, and then on the underground scene of the "Dvorana za izvedbene umjetnosti" Medika and "Triko Cirkus Teatar".

I loved the idea of not being bound to a certain theatre, director or studio, but to just make a stage wherever I am and freely express something others find out of this world, but is closer than we think.

I continue to explore performance dramaturgy and am finding my voice in the silly realms of society.
