CLOTEAL L. HORNE (her/she)

My name aptly weaves together parts of my grandparents' names. Be it to muster the courage to stand before witnesses onstage or on screen, as a raw nerve, in order to shine a light upon hidden parts of humanity, or to architect a world that ignites the imagination towards transformation, I am committed to collaborative processes that illuminate humanity through the craft of storytelling.

As an Actor, educator, director, and creative producer, my work uproots classics and tethers itself to immersive ceremonies and rituals that center blackness, black-femininity. Calling on both the sacred and profane to locate that small (sometimes quiet) place where healing happens. I dedicate my practice to community, honest liberation, and building more just and joyous futures. 

I am a product of my grandmother’s prayers + the embodiment of my ancestors’ wildest dreams. Glory be. Holds a B.F.A in Acting from BU and an M.F.A in Acting from Brown University/Trinity Rep. www.cloteallhorne.com
