Meet our Founder

Heather Ward is a theatre maker and practitioner developing new methods of theatre training. She takes experienced and emerging artists through a new journey of disovery and enquiry each term.  

''The journey of the artist, is a life long quest.  There is space for us all and every story.  Let’s find our voice, and connect with the voices of others.  Let’s discover our artistic language, our artistic signature. Director’s Cut is a space to share, to play, to discover, to explore, to learn, to question, to connect, to dream. Let’s share in that journey, together.”
