About

Ella is a theatre director and facilitator from southeast London.
Her practice spans developing and directing new plays, artistic direction of Ricochet Theatre, dramaturgy and facilitation. What threads through all of her work is a sense of playfulness and precision both in the rehearsal room and on stage.
Her work as a director combines analytical insight with a passion for imaginative storytelling, often finding herself drawn to impossible stage directions and puppetry. She is interested in stories that interrogate ideas of belonging and identity, embracing theatre's potential to be a catalyst for personal, social, or cultural change.
​
She is a script reader for The Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting and for Ricochet Theatre. As a facilitator Ella has worked in educational, arts and community settings. She is currently part of the National Youth Theatre's Creative Leadership cohort and Create's Nurturing Talent programme. ​​​
