Joana Goldschmidt

My name is Joana Goldschmidt, my pronouns are She/Her and I'm an emerging actor and director from Portugal. I've recently graduated from the BA Drama at the University of Essex, and am looking forward to start shaping my career. I'm deeply interested in directing and working with new people. I believe theatre is a great tool to shape and change the world, therefore that's what I aim to achieve with my work. I hope to meet new people and be able to collaborate with them. I am very interested in new work, new creators who, like me, are trying to start their careers as creators. I am deeply passionate about theatre that wants to change the world, either through plays about Human Rights issues, or any story that needs to be told right now.
