Camilla Gurtler

I'm a Danish director and producer who trained at Drama Centre London and StoneCrabs Theatre’s Young Directors’ Programme.
I was the Emerging Creative at the h Club 2019-20.

I'm the artistic director of Cut the Cord Theatre, a theatre company creating international work with a focus on international collaborations, skills-exchange and new Nordic plays. I am the festival director for New Nordics Festival, and have produced the companies shows and programmes like Connecting Beyond Borders, Plays by Post, Nordic Talks and New Nordic Voices.

I was the youth theatre director at Omnibus for 5 years and have taught freelance for Almeida Theatre, Drama Centre London and Poplar Union to name a few. I’ve also worked as a script reader and translator at the Royal Court.
