Mo Korede

I'm Mo Korede (He/Him) I'm a theatre-maker(writer, director, artistic director) I've run my theatre company Imagiphoria Studios for the past 8/9 years, in which we do work based on psychological realism and perspective theatre. All my work has been written by myself and I have performed in various places (London, Lagos, Preston) I'm highly fascinated by creating work that allows others to understand each other more rather than a hero-villain complex. Alongside theatre, I'm also a poet and a young associate at the Hammersmith Lyric. Im Currently doing the MFA Directing Course at Birbeck
