Laura Dorn

Director

I'm a London-based Theatre and Film director mainly working with adaptation. This may include devised, literal or free adaptations, or pieces inspired by an existing text. I also have experience with physical theatre, new writing, musical, movement and dance.
I am the co-founder and Artistic Director of Experimentorium.
