Gemma Soldati is an American performing and teaching artist. Her most recent touring show was the Award Winning The Living Room--a devised clown show with Amrita Dhaliwal. She has taught in Los Angeles, New England, and Toronto for both adults and children.

Gemma’s focus is clown inspired work developed in front of live audiences. Her projects playfully dive deep into the heart of vital themes probing audiences with questions and meaning making - Grief, Ritual, Sleep, Dreams, and beyond. Her current project, The Adventures of Sleepyhead, a family show about the loss of one’s dreams, was developed at the New Hampshire Theatre Project and presented digitally at the 2021 Edinburgh Festival Fringe by Assembly. Sleepyhead has also been adapted as a short video series for NHPBS with support from the New Hampshire Humanities.
