Cameron Carver

Hey there! I'm a multidisciplinary artist originally from Canada, currently living in South London. I hold a Masters in theatre directing from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre school and my work spans directing, choreography, devising and filmmaking. I am passionate about storytelling and constantly intrigued as to how I can evolve my practice, in a response to the fluidity of our political and social landscape. I champion authentic queer narratives on stage and believes the normalization of stories outside the gender binary continue to be crucial in creating equality within the arts community and society at large. Recently I've become interested theatre and practices that engages with mindfulness/Buddhist practice.
