Daisy Minto
Theatre, Circus & Cabaret Director Dramaturg Arts Marketing SpecialistShe/they
I'm a queer, neurodiverse theatre/circus director and writer. My work uniquely combines narrative theatre with high-level circus arts. I'm interested in work that is inventive with form. I'm Artistic Director of Orange Skies Theatre. I'm currently working with the UK Space Agency on SpaceJunk, and I'm funded by ACE Developing Your Creative Practice for my continued theatre/circus practice.
I trained with Gecko on the Regional Theatre Young Directors Scheme 2016 and at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in MA Advanced Theatre Practice 2019.
