Ida May is a London-based actress whose work is defined by emotional intelligence, physical intuition, and a bold commitment to truth on screen and stage. She brings a rare blend of vulnerability and strength to her characters, grounding every role in instinct, presence, and deep human connection.

Ida made her London stage debut in the world premiere of Inferna at Riverside Studios, portraying Harriet—a devout, emotionally fractured mother navigating the pressures of 1960s Australia. She also starred in Alabaster DePlume’s Invincibility, a filmic music-video narrative, which went on to win a D&AD Wooden Pencil and was shortlisted for Best Casting at the UK Music Video Awards.

Ida’s screen presence is shaped by her multidisciplinary foundation. Originally trained as a dancer and physical storyteller, she has worked with artists such as Kylie Minogue, Scissor Sisters, Bananarama, and George Ezra, performed in productions at the Finnish National Opera, appeared in global campaigns, and danced in the London Olympics.

Her work as a movement director further sharpens her approach as an actor. She has collaborated with David Beckham, Laura Mvula, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, and brands including Nike, Adidas, Peloton, Coco de Mer, and Dove—helping performers connect to emotion through the body, a skill that now deeply informs her own performances.

Ida is drawn to characters with complexity—roles that live in tension, silence, and contradiction—and she thrives in creative spaces that push boundaries and invite transformation. With her Scandinavian roots, physical craft, and growing body of screen and stage work, she brings a unique, bold perspective to every project she joins.
