Emma Hawkins

I'm Emma (she/her) an emerging theatre director and visual artist based in Oxfordshire. The majority of my directing experience comes from the 4 years I spent co-running my student production company, Jazz Hands Productions. I also have experience in designing, choreography, writing and producing. I'm particularly interested in musical theatre, new writing and work that explores beyond the traditional format of theatre, e.g immersive theatre and art-theatre hybrid.
