Alex Barrett
Theatre Director Facilitator Writer Producer CollaboratorI am a writer, Director and Facilitator based in Manchester, England. I am also the Artistic Director of Mayt Theatre, a small emerging theatre company currently in association with The Edge Theatre and Arts Centre.
Alongside studying a degree in Drama & Contemporary Performance at the Manchester School of Theatre, I am a Freelance Artist and Theatre Practitioner, working with organisations such as The Lowry, Chol Theatre, Red Players Academy, The Edge Theatre and Arts Centre and Big Comedy Shop on a regular basis.
I am always eager to expand my network and gain experience wherever possible and am always open to new collaborations and networking opportunities. I am also constantly looking to educate myself on different artistic outputs and processes that I may be able to incorporate into my own artistic practice.
