Ash Maure Felkner is a London-based American actor, writer, and movement artist whose work bridges the emotional, physical, and psychological. Originally from Mansfield, Texas, she began her journey through dance and theatre—eventually performing with Chameleon Dance Company and later choreographing and producing ‘War of the Mind,’ a multidisciplinary piece.
She holds a BFA in Acting from Abilene Christian University and an MA in Acting (with Distinction) from East 15 Acting School, where she also trained at Shakespeare’s Globe, playing Edgar in King Lear.
Ash spent 10 years working professionally in Los Angeles, where she became a company member of Theatrum Elysium - a classical immersive theatre company known for staging works in unconventional spaces, including ‘Cymbeline’ aboard the USS Iowa battleship. She also founded her own nonprofit theatre company there, Assembly (now dissolved), with the mission of uplifting artists - particularly underrepresented artists - during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under her leadership, Assembly produced two original shows.
On screen, Ash Felkner appears in the psychological thriller ‘Krispr’ (now streaming on Amazon Prime) and in the upcoming western ‘Bad Men Must Bleed,’ directed by Micah Lyons, currently in post-production, in which she acted opposite Bruce Dern. Her original work spans both film and theatre: she wrote and produced two award-winning short films (‘Desert’ - awarding her best Actress, and ‘Stupid Cupid’), a feature screenplay (‘Signs of Life’), and a full-length play, ‘Pan’s Asylum,’ which is scheduled for production in London in 2025.
As a teacher and mentor, Ash has worked with youth in schools, studios, and nonprofits across Texas and California.
A strong character actress with a love for transformation and physical storytelling, and a deep commitment to physical and immersive theatre, Ash intends to pursue a PhD in Theatre Practice, exploring how somatic movement and dance can be used to regulate the nervous system, foster intimacy, and teach empathy—both for the actor and for humanity at large.
