Gillian Dean

Actor Director Singer Writer Devisor

I am a severely-sight impaired woman, pronouns she/her. I have been acting professionally for 13 years and am interested in expanding my directing practice. I have recently completed the Extant Pathways into Directing program. I am interested in collaborative and devised work as well as creative reimagining of classic texts. I am also interested in exploring creatively incorporated audio description.
