Chinook Perrut

Theatre Director Writer Costume Designer Illustrator

Chinook Perrut, she/her. In 2019, I founded the student amateur company Dram'Aède in Lyon, France, in which I led 3 different shows. I have discovered my passion for directing and bringing to life projects that can be both entertaining and have a depth and authenticity in portraying aspects of the human experience. I have been writing and drawing for many years and I am currently considering directing, writing, and producing. I have also pursued a BA at Sciences po Lyon, a college specialized in political science, history, law, economics and sociology and a MA in cultural management. I have spent a year in the United States at 17 and a semester abroad in Sweden during my college years.
Being French, I could not put my real region below ! I would be absolutely thrilled to be able to gain more experience in the UK and come for a work experience/internship/professional opportunity.
