George Mann

Director

I’m co-artistic director of Ad Infinitum, a multi-award winning international touring company based in Bristol. I’m also a freelance director, movement director, and alumni Associate Director of Bristol Old Vic (2015-17). With our company I make theatre through a devising process; as a freelance I also work with writers as a director, or with other directors as a movement director. I am sometimes a dramaturg, mentor and writer.
