About Chipo

Chipo Kureya is an actor working on stage and screen. She is best known for her theatre work including Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,  A Midsummer Night's Dream, and most recently her portrayal of Winnie Mandela in a touring production of Free Mandela.

Chipo set up Bantu Creatives as an opportunity to not only act well in a given story but to be a part of creating the full narrative.

“Too often we have been told what our story was, is, or will be, but now we can set the stage and shift the focus.”

As a thought leader, Chipo works closely with the #FreeNehanda Project, an organisation that is implementing the repatriation of African remains and sacred artefacts from the British Museum to their rightful places of origin.

Chipo is a founding member of Black In The Open, a company determined to hold a mirror up to organisations and unravel the systemic racism that is rampant in the UK.

Away from the grind Chipo spends quality time with her family in the Kent countryside going for long walks, cycling, or indoors binge-watching a boxset. If you are a Kent local and are interested in acting coaching, I offer classes both in-person at my studio or online. You can contact me for further information.
