Eloïse Poulton

Director Writer

I am a female-identifying (she/her) director, working mainly in theatre, recently extending to film. I am interested in music in theatre - from opera to musicals - physical theatre, international adaptation, working with young people and with communities, particularly those who are under-represented.

Currently:
Creative Director - The Bach Choir
Junior Associate - King's Head Theatre

Formerly:
Young Artist Bursary Award Winner - Project Phakama UK
