James Cooney
Theatre Director Acting Coach WriterI am a British Filipino theatre and performance maker who has worked primarily as an actor. I am interested in developing new work which amplifies the voices of British East Asian story tellers and the experience of being mixed race or a second generation immigrant. The heart of my work is about practicing belonging, both on stage and off. This means developing practices which not only aims to include but also maximise the skills and all those involved. My pronouns are he/him.
