Stephanie Withers

Director

I am the Executive Director of my Theatre Company, Off the Middle, we specialise in new-writing, and storytelling theatre. I am interested in working with direct address to the audience, appreciating and acknowledging their presence. My training was in the Lecoq traditions of clown, devised, playful storytelling, and this style influences my work.
