Hamish Hutchison-Poyntz

Hello! My name is Hamish Hutchison-Poyntz (he/him), and I'm a theatre and audio artist interested in games, performance, the climate crisis and audio storytelling.

Originally from Vancouver, Canada, I live and work in London. Here, I'm a freelance director and producer of theatre and performance work. As a creator and director, I'm particularly focused on work which responds to the climate crisis, and which involves participatory or game-based elements. I also focus on these kinds of performance as a producer, but have also helped stage a broad range of theatre and performance festival work. Beyond theatre and games, I'm passionate about audio-drama and audio-based storytelling. I work as a freelance podcast editor and producer, and am always looking to include audio work in my art however I can. In my spare time, I review and write about theatre around London for To Do List.com.

I'd love to work with you on any of these and more!
