Rinkoo Barpaga

Director

I am interested in many areas of theatre-making - a jack of all trades. I am British-born from a working class Punjabi family. I am interested in social truth-telling, exploring language origins and historical research of colonialism and the effects this has had on signed language. As an ethnic minority member, I feel it’s my duty to hold a mirror up to social and political injustices through performance, comedy, documentary-making and written storytelling. (He/him)
