Olamide Ajisafe

Director Writer Performer Facilitator

I’m Olamide (She/her) and I am a director/writer from East London. My work centres around underrepresented communities and their life experiences. I’m super passionate about directing new writing and I also enjoy devising as a methodology. I’m really interested in physical theatre and the use of movement within storytelling.
