Jane Prinsley

Director Writer Facilitator Teacher

I am interested in theatre as a tool to unite and enact action. Within the theatre space, I create a collective power in the room through empathy, emotion and discourse. I come to theatre first from a textual basis and then through collaborative, physical work with the company. My theatre is always political, because, as a switched on womxn from a minority background, it has to be.
