About me

Cordelia Stevenson (she/her) is a neurodivergent theatre-maker, facilitator, producer, director, actor and clown based on the Wirral, Merseyside.

After training at Goldsmiths College, University of London, Cordelia formed critically acclaimed devising company Silent Faces, alongside long-time collaborators Josie Underwood and Jack Wakely. Silent Faces make physical, political, fool-ish theatre; from their first show Follow Suit - a clown show about corporate responsibility - to their most recent, Godot is a Woman - a gender-equality-fueled take-down of authorial copyright - Silent Faces use their unique combination of physical theatre, clowning, and new writing, to create high-concept, seriously silly devised theatre that tackles big issues.

In her work both inside and outside of Silent Faces, Cordelia is passionate about clowning and play-based pedagogies as a radical and empowering form for those who have historically been excluded from actor training. She has herself trained with a number of renowned clown teachers including John Wright, Nola Rae, Deanna Fleysher (Butt Kapinski) & Phil Burgers (Dr Brown).
