Germma Orleans-Thompson
Director
I am a director and theatre-maker originally from Birmingham, now based in London. I am interested in working with creatives of colour to devise and create new work. I have worked extensively at theatres around London, including the Almeida Theatre, Bunker Theatre and King's Head Theatre. I am also a facilitator and currently am leading Senior Youth Theatre at Theatre Royal Stratford East and a Primary School Hub for Almeida Theatre.
