Fred Wienand
Director
I am a director and dramaturg based in Greater London. My preferred pronouns are he/him. I am inspired by work that experiments with and expands the possibilities of theatrical form. I'm interested in discovering how UK-based theatre makers can learn from theatre makers working in Europe. I believe that the commitment to working in new, exploratory ways that move away from old hierarchies is deeply political and important.
