NICOLA HEWITT-GEORGE

Designer

My name is Nicola (she/her) and I work as a designer, maker, facilitator and creative practitioner with a keen interest in devising new work and work within applied and participatory theatre contexts. I am the design technician for the department of Drama and Theatre at Royal Holloway University. My love for collaboration, storytelling and shared experiences drives my passion to work creatively as does the power of performance for social change. I'm interested in forming new collaborations to create work.
