Dena Davies

Director Assistant Director Performer

Dena (She/Her) is a Welsh theatre maker based in Swansea.

Her work takes inspiration from digital content, particularly the visual storytelling within indie video games and ARGs (Alternative reality games). She is interested in exploring how theatre can grant audiences the same sense of immersion and narrative ownership that video games provide players. And how the use of new and interesting technologies can be utilised within storytelling.
