Eleanor Dodson

I am a freelance director currently working under Robin Norton-Hale at OperaUpClose.

I spent two years (2015 -2017) living and working in Europe in Paris, Prague and Gothenburg. In 2018 I finished my Master's Degree in Arts, Creativity and Education at the University of Cambridge.

I initially trained as an actor under Jack Price in the Sanford Meisner technique.
