Harriett O'Grady

Director Actor Singer Movement Director

My name is Harriett O'Grady and I am a curious, creative actor-mover-singer with a passion for directing. From a very young age I have been involved in the Arts, and that curiosity has done nothing but flourish - whenever I get the chance I sing, act, learn, dance, draw, bake, write and create. During my Acting studies at Rose Bruford College, I began to take natural leadership roles, and became intrinsically interested in the creation of theatre, both devisive and director-led. From this curiosity grew a deep passion for the investigative, explorative nature of directing, and I love experimenting with the culmination of text, proxemics, environmental influences and narrative to form punchy, impactful theatre that carries an important message. I am constantly curious, learning and adapting very quickly, and I know that I am capable of offering my growing expertise, as well as gaining new skills and ways of working from experienced directors and practitioners.
