Spencer Noll

I came to directing from a 10 year career as a professional actor, over the course of which I worked consistently in Theatre from New Writing and Shakespeare to Musical Theatre - regionally, abroad and in London (Michael MacLiammoir Best Actor Award Winner, Dublin 2007.

My background as an actor massively informs my practice as a director; I understand the process and craft of an actor and value this skill in a collaborative, creative, process.

I have a vast amount of experience working with Youth Groups and vulnerable people in both educational and Theatre contexts as well as investigating and practicing inclusive theatre with a specific emphasis on an autistic audience.
