Andrea Lavio

My name is Andrea Lavio and I am an emerging theatre director.
I trained as an actor and went on to study traditional theatre forms such as Balinese Dance and Drama in Indonesia, Beijing Opera in China and Noh Theatre in Japan.
I have also facilitated workshops and directed devised performances in schools in India, Kenya and South Africa.
My international background tends to influence my work and I am particularly interested in comedies. My style tends to be minimalistic and stylized, using physical theatre conventions.
