Hey! I’m Lotte. I’m a graduate of 16th Street Actors Studio and Melbourne University (Creative Writing, Theatre), and have recently performed on stage with Sydney Theatre Company, the Old Fitz Theatre and Fever103 Theatre. On screen, I’ve recently worked with Goodoil Films, Jungle Entertainment, SUZY Productions and Pork Store Productions. I have also written work for La Mama, ATYP and Griffin Theatre Company.

In 2022, I wrote, performed and produced CLUB NITE, staged at nightclub Miscellania in Melbourne. CLUB NITE was awarded the Room for Art Project (Ethical Property Australia), and received an epic feature in The Age. It was also the first theatre work performed at Miscellania.

I often write, produce and perform original work with my collaborator Lily Hensby under Hensby & Beckett. We were recently shortlisted for the Katie Lees Foundation Fellowship and the Martin Lysicrates Prize, and have been developing a new work through MerrigongX. We can often be found playing our failed Broadway star alter-egos, Janine and Bernadette, on any stage or screen available to us.
