Amy Collins

Director Theatre Maker Sound Designer

Amy (she/her) is a theatre maker, with experience in directing, performance, sound design, and movement. As a Director, she has had work performed in London, and was most recently part of VAULT Festival 2020 with 'Maddy'. As a Sound Designer her work has been used internationally in productions in Malta and New York, as well as London.

She is interested in interdisciplinary performance with a contemporary approach, constantly challenging and questioning the way performance can be made. She wishes to explore more directing work, using her skills as a Sound Designer to create new and exciting work. She particularly has a love for new interpretations and fusions of familiar stories, and hopes to continue to interrogate this in her future work.
