Chrysa Spilioti
Actor, director, writer
Chrysa Spilioti was born in Athens. She was an actor, director and writer. She graduated from the Greek National Theatre Drama School, attended improvisation classes in France, and worked for many years as an actor, playing important roles from the international repertoire in productions directed by Giorgos Sevastikoglou, Minos Volanakis, Giorgos Michailidis, Yannis Houvardas, Vaggelis Theodoropoulos, Niketi Kontouri, Giannis Margaritis et al.
She was a key member of Giorgos Michailidis’ Open Theatre and the Theatro Anoixis; she also collaborated with among others the Amore Theatro tou Notou, the Theatre on Kefallinias Street, the National Theatre of Greece and the Free Theatre.
She participated in a number of TV series and several movies.
In 1996, her primary focus shifted to writing plays. Her works were published by Sokoli, Dodoni and Kastaniotis Editions, while her collection of short stories entitled “Chameno dikio” was published by Kedros.
Her play “Who discovered America?” has been staged in 30 different productions and translated into seven languages (English, French, Polish, German, Croatian, Dutch and Portuguese). It was included in Polish in “Z Parnasu I Olimpu”, an anthology of Greek texts. Her play “Fire and Water” has been translated into English and staged at the Tristan Bates Theatre in London.
She served as the general secretary of the International Theatre Institute (ITI) and sat on its Board (2012–2014).
She led seminars in writing for the theatre at the Theatro ton Allagon for many years, as well as at the International Theatre Institute, the Panhellenic Association of Theatre Specialists, the Cyprus Theatre Organization and the Open Theatre of Cyprus. Participants at her seminars have presented their plays professionally in theatres in Athens and Nicosia.
She also worked in radio for many years as a producer of talk radio shows and as a writer, mostly at ERT, the Greek state radio and television organization, but also with private-sector broadcasters. She wrote scripts for television series and programmes on ERT, as well as for many of ERT’s children's programmes.
She was also involved in teenage theatre and worked with teenage theatre groups.
Chrysa Spilioti was a member of the NTNG Board of Directors, which she served consistently from 2015 to 2018 as a representative of the Association of Greek Playwrights.
