Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSara Arenson is a multidisciplinary writer, performer and access-focused communicator with 15 years of experience bridging theatre, film, journalism and technology. Currently an audio describer for live theatre and a prolific freelance writer and actress, she creates scripts and content that make arts and disability stories more accessible and visible. Trained in both computer science and conservatory acting, she brings rare technical precision to creative projects—from writing grant-winning proposals to authoring audio description for Royal MTC. A former university lecturer and Ruby on Rails developer, she combines instructional clarity with hands-on production skills and a knack for turning complex ideas into engaging public experiences. Deeply invested in health and joyful movement, she’s training as a fitness leader and integrates lived health journeys into her creative work. Ambitiously juggling multiple theatre, film and writing projects, she’s equally comfortable directing community productions and drafting experimental texts exploring disability and identity.
