Flo Dessau

Director Dramaturg Facilitator

I am a Director and Dramaturg, with extensive experience in community and youth theatre practices in both roles. I work freelance across a number of organisations developing work with new writers. I am interested in directing challenging yet joyful work. I am currently focusing on developing my practice in devising, and am particularly interested in exploring projects that combine music and movement with text.
