Writer Performer Deviser

Rory trained as an actor at the Bristol Actor's Academy 2012-2015. He trained in Devising Theatre under Jesse Jones as part of the Theatre Royal Bath's 18-25 Theatre School in 2017. He worked as writer for the end of year project. He also worked as a theatre workshop assistant for the Theatre Royal Bath. He has written and helped produce a short film, The Sea and Sky.

Recently, he took a break from performance and undertook a Comparative Literature BA at King's College London.

He has returned to performance, combining these two experiences with his love of stories.

I am interested in all kinds of work but I have a particular focus on the history of theatre and cinema. I am very interested in adaptation, and I like to see classic work translated into a new format or space.

I am looking to produce my own projects and contribute creatively to other people's work.
