Minnie Crook is an interdisciplinary artist based in Glasgow, Scotland. Rooted in autobiography, her practice draws from lived experience to create compelling and thought-provoking work that challenges perceptions of the world around her. Through an ongoing exploration of personal history, memory, and nostalgia, she investigates her Irish lineage and genealogical connections.
​
Her work is highly visual, immersive, and experimental, engaging audiences through live art that incorporates visual projection and Hiberno-English a cappella song. These elements serve as a means to examine themes of age, loss, time, and grief. Often collaborating with both artists and non-artists, Minnie’s work responds to shifting cultural and emotional landscapes, creating space for reflection and dialogue.
​
Minnie graduated with First Class Honours from the BA Contemporary Performance Practice program, receiving several awards, including The Percival Steads Prize for Appreciation of the Spoken Word and The Mary Stuart Prize for Public Speaking. Since then, her work And When I Remember That I Have Forgotten has been programmed at Glasgow's Into The New Festival and Coventry's biennale SHOOT Festival, while One Man Shows was presented at Tramshed's Propel Festival.
​
She is deeply engaged in social practice and regularly works with young people through Imagine That Performing Arts, Reconnect Regal, Imaginate and Playbox Theatre. Additionally, she is a Drama Facilitator at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS) and has worked as a facilitator on Sally Charlton's commission for Lyra's bright and Wild Festival.
​
Minnie has also undertaken artist residencies at Jupiter Artland and within the RCS Archives and Collections department. She has recently worked with Craig McCorquodale in the research and development of his project Landmark, and performed in Jen Kelly's A Constant Storm during it's development. She frequently collaborates with 21Common, performing in Common is as Common Does: A Memoir run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Johnstone Town Hall. Her work with the company extends to leading artist residencies in schools, and she is currently Project Manager for their Disruptive Pedagogy projects.
​
She also regularly collaborates with artist Dan Brown—stay tuned for future project announcements!
