Beth Knight

Director Facilitator Theatre-Maker Deviser

I'm a Director and Facilitator from and based in Yorkshire, with passion and experience for co-creating new and socially engaged work. I have a flair for bringing exciting untold stories and ideas to light, working with a range of artists and participants across ages, backgrounds and experiences. I work in a generous, collaborative and responsive style and often as a deviser and have worked across both professional and participatory work on a range of scales.

I'm the co-director of archipelago theatre collective.
