Laura Wohlwend

Director

I am a female (she) theatre maker and emerging director and movement director from Switzerland. I come from a devising background so collaboration is very much at the heart of my work. I'm very passionate about multi-cultural collaboration; bringing translated plays to the UK stage, particularly European and Middle Eastern theatre.
