Sally Beck Wippman
Director Physical theatre maker Movement director Performer WriterI am an international director and movement designer. My vision is to build solidarity and compassion, to make compelling, provocative, weird, love-inspiring work. I'm particularly interested in using physical theatre in contexts such as new plays, dark musicals, reinventions of Shakespeare, and beyond.
