Actor Theatre Director Assistant Director

(She/her)
I am an actress and theatre director, currently based in France, but looking into moving to England. I have also worked as an assistant director, and would like to expand my experience in the field. I have also given theatre classes to children and adults, and am currently working on a project including nursing home residents.
I am interested in the kind of theatre than enables us to reflect on society, as well as plays which depict loneliness, day to day life, and helps us all feel more empathy, towards ourselves and others.
