Nikhil Vyas

Director

Nikhil is a theatremaker from Croydon. He is the Artistic Director of Trip Hazards, one of The Guardian's Five Best Young Theatre Companies.

He directs new plays, makes devised performance, movement directs, and works as a facilitator. He has created and collaborated on projects at the Young Vic, The Yard, Camden People's Theatre, Wardrobe Theatre, Hampstead Theatre, and Bristol Old Vic. He likes to make work that is physical, lo-fi, formally playful and which reimagines the relationship between the spectator and performer.
