Daniel Orejon

Hi there, Dan here! (he/him)

I'm a Spanish theatremaker and performer based in Edinburgh. My practice usually revolves around traditional drama, physical theatre, and storytelling (with experience in puppetry, verbatim theatre, and mask); I specialise in new writing, adaptation and translation; and I tend to focus on multilingualism, queerness and mental health, with most theatre I produce being Hispanic-adjacent. Nowadays you'll find me producing my own work through my theatre company, Crested Fools.
