Chaska was born in London in the year 2000. He is part St Lucian and American and is proud of his background. He is also on the autism spectrum and proud that his unique perspective allows him to see the world in new and invigorating ways.
He trained at Italia Conti and Rose Bruford, studying Acting and American Theatre Arts. Having spent time studying at Colombia College in Chicago in 2021, Chaska's practice bridges performance craft and cinematic storytelling. His background in being a multidisciplinary creative informs his writing - grounding institutional critique in lived, embodied human experience.
Despite this all, the world doesn't always accept these differences and due to this, his work centres voices society overlooks - restoring dignity to the discarded and complexity to the misunderstood.
Through Split Grey Productions, Chaska develops socially conscious drama that is visually restrained, emotionally precise and morally unafraid.
