Lizzie Franks

Director

I'm a director, movement director and trainee producer. I was also an auditioning and working actor for 10 years. I work mainly with devising techniques and closely with writers predominantly on new writing. I create work that is very theatrical and bold with abstract elements but always a strong emphasis on character and story telling. I have worked on a lot of family theatre shows, physical theatre shows and as a director for final year Drama Degree University courses.
