Oettie Devriese
Playwright Theatre Director Dramaturg ActorTheatre maker and performer. Originally from Belgium, but have been in London for nearly 5 years now. I came here to train as an actor and have been moving into creating/directing since graduation. I'm intrigued by how theatre operates differently in Europe and the UK. Ultimately I'm interested in creating/watching something visceral, an experience of human behaviour which demands you to invest in the audience. I find that European theatre doesn't shy away from that, but often lacks the story that British playwrights bring. In my own work I'd like to find ways of combining both. (she/her)
