Clare Trim

Actor Writer Director Musician

I trained as an orchestral bassoonist, but graduated with the plan of becoming a theatre director. I then worked as a pianist at RCSSD, exchanging piano for taking part in classes, and got seduced by acting... So I went back to Central and became an actor for a number of years. I am now resuming the original plan, and aim to create work that has a strong grounding in music and movement, with a big focus on representation.

Pronouns: she/her.
