Lorien is based within the Midlands and is an actress and upcoming director/ assistant director for stage. She is a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. She is hugely passionate about women’s voices and women’s representation on stage, telling truthful stories from communities that do not always get a voice, and connecting with new and upcoming writers and talent.
Lorien has just gained the position of Assistant Director for a newly commissioned, Arts Council Wales funded one woman show, ‘That’s My Win!’ by Mackenzie Steed, being produced for The Riverfront Theatre Newport and is really excited to work with the creative team on the Research and Development process and industry showing.
Lorien has recently been shadowing director Francesca Goodridge and The Grand Ambition team on their inaugural production ‘Sorter’ by Richard Mylan, produced for Swansea Grand Theatre
