Rupinder Kaur Waraich (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist based in the West Midlands whose work encompasses poetry, writing, performance, and acting, with a focus on feminine narratives. Her practice delves into themes of the body, history, language, sexuality, and spirituality. Her debut poetry collection, Rooh (2018), was published by Verve Poetry Press, and her second collection is forthcoming from Seren Books in 2026. Waraich’s poetry and writing have been featured in a range of magazines and journals.
Rupinder has extensive experience devising theatre for companies across the Midlands. Her one-woman show, Imperfect, Perfect Woman, showcased at the Wolverhampton Literature Festival, while her short film, The Two Artists—which she co-wrote and acted in—debuted at the UK Asian Film Festival in 2023. As a BBC New Creative, she created The Girls That Hide and Seek, a spoken word piece addressing gendered violence. She has also participated in artist residencies at JOYA Arte in Spain, Art House in Holland, and Preet Nagar in Panjab.
Her recent work integrates poetry, dance, and film, particularly in her performance art films Meeting Kali and The Search. A 2023 DYCP grant enabled her to further explore movement, dance, and poetry. Driven by curiosity and dedication, Rupinder continues to explore and create at the intersection of writing, film, and theatre.
