Elle Dillon-Reams is a neurodiverse, queer artist, originally from Brighton. 

​

Her debut self written solo show 'HoneyBEE' sold out its entire run and received all 5 and 4-star reviews at The Brighton Fringe 2019 after which she won the Three Week's Editor's award for performance and Best Newcomer from The Scotsman in Edinburgh 2019. 

 

Elle recently toured both 'HoneyBEE' and her second solo work 'MEAT' across the UK receiving five star reviews, sellouts, and an Offie Nomination. She returns to The Omnibus Theatre in March this year after selling out in December for another run of MEAT for International Women's Day. 

​

​She is currently writing her new show under Lucy Morrison as part of the inaugural New Writing South Playwrights cohort. 

​

A multi award winner of Poetry Slams across the UK including Hammer & Tongue, Genesis, and Loud Poets, her debut poetry collection 'Maladaptive' was published by Verve Poetry Press in 2022. Elle was selected by Craig Charles and BBC6 Music as part of the Poetry class of 2023, featuring on BBC6 Music's prestigious National Poetry Day Programme alongside Tim Key, Lemn Sissay, Nitin Sawney, and Arlo Parks.  She has since had several commissions from the BBC, and has performed her poetry at festivals including Glastonbury, Latitude, and The Edinburgh International Festival.

​

After receiving a first-class degree from East 15, she was the first female to join the Shakespeare based theatre company 'The Handlebards', cycling the length and breadth of the country twice, and in touring internationally with the company, made history as the first female theatre company to perform in Sudan.

When not performing herself, Eleanor directs at several acting schools across the UK, and also teaches yoga, pilates, writing, and movement.
