Samuel Erskine

Director

Hi I'm Sam

I am a young director from Liverpool now based in Sheffield and Leeds.

I am the Artistic Director of Glitch Theatre. We tour an interactive immersive digital experience called VOTE FOR ME which makes politics relevant to young people.

I am passionate about new writing, political and social work within a community environment.

I am been developing my digital theatre with making skills in projection mapping, VR and AR to create immersive events for new audiences.

I am Applied Theatre Facilitator and Director and have worked with a wide range of participants from many different backgrounds.
