Lucy Wild

I am a Movement Director, Choreographer, Director and Facilitator. I use the arts to engage and empower people, as a tool to inspire, connect and make positive change. I aim to make the world more accessible, inclusive, create politically engaged work and share often unheard voices and stories.

I have worked extensively with non-professionals, creating two companies that support and develop young people through the arts.

I am also currently a freelance Practitioner for Frantic Assembly.

Companies/organisations I have worked with include Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Frantic Assembly, Royal Lyceum Theatre, Traverse Theatre, Derby Theatre, King’s and Theatre Royal Glasgow, New Adventures, Rambert, DanceXchange, Dancebase Scotland’s National Centre for Dance, among others.
