Holly Cassidy

Director Actor musician Musical director workshop facilitator

I’m Holly, I am an actor, musician, aspiring director and workshop facilitator. I lived in Paris for 5 years and came back at the end of 2021. I am the artistic director of Fever Birds. Summer 2022 saw our debut show 'The Campers' tour around the South of England with great success. Our work is devised and is highly physical and (hopefully) funny. I love theatre that uses sound and physicality to tell a story. My imagination was first ignited when I saw Kneehigh's 'Tristan and Isolde' at Bristol Old Vic when I saw 15. My passion for physical music theatre has grown ever since. My preferred pronoun is feminine.
