Robert Awosusi
Director Writer Dramaturg TheatremakerRobert (he/him) is a director / writer / dramaturg / theatremaker based in London. but that doesn't mean he can't work elsewhere. He's into making art about people not listened to.
He creates performance work (live and recorded) that explores socio-political issues, championing and uplifting marginalised voices and communities in meaningful and stimulating worlds. His current personal focuses are around Blackness, capitalism and climate change.
It matters not only in the stories told but the form in which they take and the process we use to get there, the result is the audience/s experience of the live.
