Michael Greenwood

Director

As the Artistic Director of Wrong Shoe Theatre Company and the Front Room Theatre in East Croydon, I like to spread my directorial knowledge over a range of genres and topics. Although primarily working as a movement director I have recently made the shift to more text based work and am constantly exploring how to weave the two together to create impactful and potent performances. I am interested in new writing that is "outside of the box" and anything that is a little bit strange as I believe these stories hold the most potential.
