Fletcher Scully

Fletcher Scully (he/him) is a queer Native American-Australian multidisciplinary writer and performer, born and raised on Dharawal land in Southern Sydney. For over twelve years, Fletcher has immersed himself in performance and along his journey has been involved in STC’s Work Experience Week (2019), Young Wharfies Program (2020) and ATYP’s Youth Advisory Board (2021). In 2022, Fletcher wrote 'Saturn Fairy,' part of creator Laneikka Denne’s 'The Monologue Collective,' which was performed to sold-out audiences at KXT and Shopfront Arts, published with Playlab and nominated at the Sydney Theatre Awards for Best Production for Young People in 2023. That same year he was a notetaker in a writers room for an upcoming series with writer/director/producer, Jason Stevens. He has recently finished a Bachelor of Performing Arts (Performance Making) at WAAPA, where he wrote, directed and performed his solo performance, 'AmericaNAH!' (2023). He was dramaturg on Lea Šimić's piece 'Your Blood Isn’t Better Than Mine' at the Blue Room Theatre’s '600 Seconds — MAKES' program (2024). At WAAPA, he was dramaturg and assistant stage manager for the co-devised 'Generator: Tomorrow' (dir. Jeremy Neideck, 2023), performed in the company-devised site-specific production, 'Clubhouse, Dusk' (dir. Will Dickie, 2023) and in Charles L. Mee’s 'Big Love,' (dir. Candy Bowers, 2024), with a final performance in the Spare Parts Puppet Theatre collaboration, 'The Murmuration of Lost Birds' (dir. Michael Barlow, 2024). Fletcher was the Sub-Editor of Dircksey Magazine in 2024, contributing articles about student life and youth culture, and is now on the Editorial Committee of WhyNot Magazine. Most recently, he performed in this year’s 'TILT' season at The Blue Room Theatre, with the show he wrote and co-devised, 'Cowboys & Indians' (dir. Shontae Wright, 2024). Fletcher is interested in creating auto-ethnographic pieces of performance that depict queer experiences void of tragedy, develop his understanding of his multicultural identity and examine the complexities of international and intergenerational familial connections.
