Writing

From a young age, Chandler has always been creating new stories and plays; what started with the creation of summertime backyard circus shows and dramatic plays has become much more. Chandler first studied creative writing while at Cornell University, combining his love of theatre with his love of writing. It was there that he began developing his own particular voice. He studied professionally at the University of St Andrews with Zinnie Harris and Olly Emanuel where he branched out into writing for radio, television, and film in addition to theatre.

He is particularly inspired by adaptation and re-imagination of stories. Chandler teaches a short course titled Making Your Own Theatre for actors and artists looking to develop their skills and voices as writers. He loves to share his expertise with others guiding them to develop characters and stories in their own unique voices through exercises in physical memory, prop work, verbatim storytelling, and imagination.

Chandler's most recent production, GLAUCUS, the story of a young man who finds himself in an unlikely position after an artist draws him, premiered at the Catalyst Festival in London in Summer 2021. He is currently developing the script for a new television series set between Georgian Scotland and India.
