A Glasgow-based Singaporean, Ramesh Meyyappan is a theatre maker who develops performances using an eclectic mix of visual and physical theatre styles. Ramesh continually seeks to develop and extend his theatrical visual vocabulary, for example incorporating circus techniques, bouffon, puppetry and illusion within his work. He enjoys the challenge of creating strong narrative visual work.

Over the years, his solo performances and collaborations have toured nationally and internationally (over 20 countries) to much critical acclaim. He has been nominated five times for Best Actor at the Life! Theatre Awards (Singapore) and awarded the accolade twice.  In Scotland he was nominated for a Total Theatre Award for Snails and Ketchup and for a CATS (Critic Award Theatre Scotland) – Best Male Performance (2017) for Off Kilter. Off Kilter has been showcased at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2018, Milan, Paris, Reims and Shanghai. This continues to tour.

Ramesh is currently teaching the module he developed – Visual Theatre Module (BA Degree for Deaf) at Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow, Scotland.
