Lauren Tranter

Director Facilitator

Lauren (She/They) is a queer artist based between South East London and Cumbria working as a director and facilitator across new writing, devised projects and socially engaged theatre. Lauren is curious about how we can tell stories with more rage, more care, and more joy. She tackles big sociopolitical themes through small, tactile, and intimate stories.

They have directed work with Italia Conti’s Acting students currently work as an Associate Lecturer in the Theatre and Performance department at Goldsmiths University.
