WHO, sas, what?

Sas Kraftowitz is a fearless and visionary independent producer and artist working across performance and fine art. They have created work for some of the UK’s most iconic arts spaces, including the National Theatre and Glastonbury Festival.

As an artist, Sas has developed bold, original live art for venues such as Saatchi Gallery and Bermondsey Project Space, and is a long-standing member of the Food of War art charity. As a producer, they specialise in unapologetically alive, high-art stage work, with credits including Wilton’s Music Hall, Camden Fringe, Leeds 2023, and many more. As a director of new writing and experimental theatre, their work has been staged at venues including the Oxford Playhouse, Bridge House Theatre, and Streatham Space Project.

Sas is the founder of the Trans Arts Collective, a visionary artist accelerator partnered with National Youth Theatre, designed to nurture the next generation of trans artists in the UK. Their approach to artist development champions equity, experimentation, and radical transformation across the creative industries.

Their writing is published in two collections: a chapter in Birdsong for Unobservable Words for The Wellcome Collection, and contributed poems in the award-winning anthology Queer Noise.

A passionate advocate for environmental sustainability and equitable access to nature, Sas regularly speaks on the role of art in rewilding advocacy, most recently at the University of Cambridge. They are a 2022 alum of the Ambios Rewilding and Nature Recovery training programme.
