Cassiopeia Berkeley-Agyepong

Hello! I’m Cassi (she/her), I’m a multi-disciplinary artist from Croydon, passionate about new writing in theatre and opera.

My portfolio of work encompasses writing, directing, devising, dramaturgy, performing, composing and workshop facilitation.

My creative practice focuses on collaborating with others to reimagine canonic material and creating original work which champions global majority voices. Music is an integral part of all my work and I’m always exploring new ways to enrich and expand how we tell stories through music on stage.
