Clae Rountree is an actor, poet, and experimental theater maker based in New York City. Raised by his Italian-American side, he is a proudly queer artist from the southern plains of Colorado.

Clae has trained in classical acting at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) and classical Greek theater with One Year Lease Theater Company. He received his BA in Drama from Vassar College, including studies in Dramatic Writing/Poetry and Race, Ethnicity, & Indigeneity.

Clae’s artistic practice and collaborative process are deeply trauma-informed and rooted in somatics, abolitionist theory, and Artaudian principles. He seeks to bridge the voice and the heart, nudging our alchemy of grief.
