Rhys Davies

I am a London-based director, choreographer, and designer. My own approach to directing is heavily informed by my scenography background and I work extensively with movement. Having studied an MA in Scenography at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, scenography is often a key tool for choreographic and theatrical devising and, material experimentation is a central part of the development process.
