Joanna Woznicka

Director Producer Writer

I am passionate about female driven work, particularly exploring underrepresented identities and focusing on Central Eastern European stories.
I enjoy working with new writing, devised, and inter-disciplinary work.
My writing often tends to explore ideas of belonging, understanding, and culture.
I am very much a collaborator and always strive to keep learning and developing my craft.
