Sameena Hussain

Director

Sameena Hussain is a theatre maker and artist based in West Yorkshire. She has worked with various theatres, arts organisations and communities. The majority of her work is rooted in community theatre; it has always been about getting to know the community, tell their stories and engaging them in creative experiences. Sameena is passionate about making theatre a safe space, enabling dialogue and connection; a place to not only build a community but for it to thrive. She uses drama as a tool to engage people in creativity and play and her theatre background is in psychophysical training and ensemble work.
