GRAHAM ROOS is a multi-award-winning writer, filmmaker and interdisciplinary artist whose work explores myth, place and transformation through poetry, film, theatre, music and the visual arts.

Born in Sheffield and dividing his time between London and the Peak District, Graham is inspired by the life and work of Jean Cocteau and by the belief that the different arts are expressions of a deeper unity whose source is ONE. His work seeks to reunite image, text, music and performance into a single artistic experience.

Working across several media, Graham creates films, poems and performances that explore the relationship between landscape, mythology, memory and the inner life. Rooted in a lifelong fascination with philosophy, nature and the esoteric traditions, his work reflects the conviction that art can both illuminate and entertain. Whether lyrical, dramatic or comic, he believes that depth and accessibility are not opposing qualities but complementary ways of engaging an audience.

Alongside his creative practice, Graham has lectured widely on drama, poetry and performance. He was appointed the first Creative Artist in Residence at the University of Buckingham and taught for many years at LAMDA, where he led the MA in High Comedy. His teaching reinforced his belief that comedy, no less than tragedy, can reveal profound truths through wit, surprise and imagination.

His work has received international recognition across film, theatre and literature. Recent projects include a series of award-winning cine-poems exploring landscape, mythology and the natural world, together with new writing for page, stage and screen. Whether working with film, poetry or performance, Graham continues to explore myth, place and transformation through works that seek to reunite the arts into a single imaginative whole.
