Michelle Barrington
Director Theatre MakerShe/Her
I am a theatre director and theatre maker with skills in acting, producing and teaching. I am co-founder and director of Blown Fuse Theatre, a female led, multi-disciplinary company where we work with local communities to find the stories we tell on stage. Championing untold stories and bringing the experiences of underrepresented communities to the frontline. We explore different storytelling techniques and bring a lot of digital elements into our work.
I teach and direct in theatre schools, providing theatre classes and workshops to young people from ages 4-18 years old, including young adults with additional needs.
