Lewis Maines
Director Actor Theatre Maker Deviser StorytellerI am a young, queer and working class director, actor and theatre maker based in Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire with work having been shown in fringe venues and theatres in London.
My work as a director has consisted of directing from text, dramaturgical support, devising, ensemble work, collaboration, co-direction and music theatre directing.
I'm particularly interest in work that encapsulates complex relationships hung on the backdrop of an epic story. I'm inspired by work that is simple, minimalistic and focuses on the performance of the actor without the need of unnecessary bells and whistles/ anything that does aid in the storytelling of the piece.
