Brigitte Adela

Hi, my name is Brigitte Adela and I'm a Theatre director, facilitator and sound artist. I predominately work on new works, both new writing and devised work. I work with sound design in a lot of my work, i'm really interested in how sound can transform and create spaces.

At the core of my practice is creating inclusive and nourishing spaces for the sharing and exploring of ideas through collaboration, imagination and play.

My ongoing project is making my practice and productions inclusive, my aim is that all my future productions will be relaxed performances.
