Charlotte Salusinszky is an actor, writer and theatre-maker living and working on the lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation in Sydney, Australia. Charlotte graduated from the Victorian College of the Arts in 2017 where she completed her Honours year in Theatre Practice. Her research culminated in THIS BODY, MY CITY, a devised solo performance that re-imagined her body as the Old City of Jerusalem, as a way to explore how trauma becomes inscribed on people and on places.

In February 2020, Charlotte presented LITTLE JOKES IN TIMES OF WAR, a devised solo performance developed through Shopfront Arts Co-Op’s 2019/20 ArtsLab residency. This work told and re-told the story of her grandmother’s role in her family’s escape from Hungary. It aimed to examine the labour women enact in crisis situations, and resist the erasure of her grandmother’s story. This show had its second season at Kings Cross Theatre in March 2022.

In 2021, Charlotte was shortlisted for the Create NSW Theatre (Emerging) Fellowship with Griffin Theatre. This included three months of mentorship and development with Griffin to research her next performance project, THE CHANGELINGS. Charlotte completed the PACT Lab; Process, Play, Experiment in October 2022, and was a Q Theatre artist-in-residence in 2023. THE CHANGELINGS premiered at PACT Centre for Emerging Artists, directed by Zoë Hollyoak, in June 2024.

As a performer and co-devisor, Charlotte has worked with independent theatre companies across Sydney and Melbourne, most recently performing in MERCURY POISONING by Madeleine Stedman. She has performed in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Midsumma Festival, Melbourne Fringe Festival, Sydney Fringe Festival, Adelaide Fringe Festival, and the Australian Improv Festival. She is an Artistic Director of The Dig Collective, an alumni of Impro Melbourne, and an ensemble member of Soothplayers: Completely Improvised Shakespeare. Her film and TV credits include HAYDEN AND PETER (web series), SILENT COMEDY (Channel 31), FUR BABY (short film) and A LOVELY PLACE (short film), and her writing has also appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald.
