Saudia Young grew up in New York’s bohemian world of writers, actors, visual artists and dreamers. Now based in Berlin, Germany, performing internationally, Young has found her perfect artistic home.

The neighborhoods and streets of NYC had a big impact on Young’s artistic development. Growing up in a biracial family, with an actor/writer father and sculptor/designer mother, amongst the cobble stone streets of Tribeca with it’s history of sailors and merchants, and later, the similarly ancient waterside streets of Brooklyn, Young’s imagination soared. Many illustrious artists and their children, filled in as extended family members. Saudia began performing at age ten in Ben Dolphin’s Mutual Respect Dance Co. She also began writing and performing puppet plays, short videos, and “radio plays” which she recorded on cassette tapes. Young trained formally in acting with Wynn Handman, and in dance at the Joffrey Ballet School and Alvin AiIey American Dance Center, in New York.

Acting:
In New York, Young co-founded the Well Water Theater Co., producing and acting in off off broadway productions. Young  developed and performed a twelve character solo theatre play, Sneaker Revolution, with co-writer/director  Kate McCamy.  Acting  roles include; “the Narrator” in Michael Kosch’s opera Elementary Principles, ” Carol” in Jim Cartwright’s Road, and “Bridgette Bardof” in Shakespeare’s Merry Wives of Windsor. Young first arrived in Berlin in 2006 and landed the lead role of Oskar in Hahn Film’s  School for Vamipres (English version of cartoon series Die Schule der kleinen Vampire).
