Sorcha Harris

Theatre Director Opera Singer

Hello, I am Sorcha Harris (she/her) based in Brighton and Dublin. I am a young director who is interested in large ensemble pieces, with a particular focus on female experiences. I am also an opera singer so like to use music, particularly folk and choral vocal lines in theatre.
