Laura Jasper

Theatre Director Workshop Facilitator

Associate Director at Prime Theatre Swindon, making theatre with young people. Interested in using theatre as a voice for marginalised groups.

I have a physical approach to acting, and using techniques like Viewpoints and Michael Chekhov. Am interested in the visual.

Currently working with an artist to explore clowning in cabaret
