Claire Parry

I'm Claire (she/her), a Lecoq-trained theatremaker interested in multidisciplinary work that investigates socio-political issues. In particular I love using a lot of music, clowning, physical theatre and comedy across my work. I love devising new work from scratch in which I write/perform/co-direct/compose as well as collaborating with companies as a director, movement director, performer, musician/composer and writer, working with both text and devising.
