Madeleine Brooks

(she/her)
I am a director and assistant working in opera, theatre dance and radio. I believe in the combination of music and drama to create powerful work. I like baroque, 20th C, Shakespeare, dance, new work... Designs that lift us out of this world and real characters to reflect our own world. C
