Lorna Heap

Theatre Maker Storyteller Writer Director Accessibility Provider

I'm Lorna (she/her) a writer, performer and story-teller capturing visceral human experiences through poetry and performance. I also deliver workshops where audiences are guided to create their own short pieces of writing.

When I'm not making my own work I use my Masters in Audiovisual Translation to translate and make accessible events and projects through captioning, audio description, accessibility consultancy and French to English translation.
