Madeline Claire de Berrie

Director

I am a director/choreographer, singer and instrumentalist specialising in the renaissance and baroque periods.

I am a co-founder of Arts at the Intersection which harnesses the power of the arts to bring different communities together.

I am interested in all opera direction and early theatre (but not exclusively!), and community outreach work.

My preferred pronoun is she/her.
