Connie Treves

Director

Grew up in Dorset, living in London. Previous Resident Assistant Director at Sheffield Theatres.

Associate artist at Good Chance and artistic director of Change the Word. Making poetry and staging high-energy performances in usual spaces with people recently arrived to the UK and people who have lived here their whole lives.

Driven by stories that move, excite and dive deep. Stories which look closely at the world around us and create openings to imagine differently. Stories about little revolutions, unexpected relationships.

Also work with movement direction, dramaturgy, young people and community groups.
