Development
One of my greatest passions is for the development of new musicals and the dramaturgical re-exploration of preexistent works. My in-depth understanding of text, music and movement, and how each breathes life into a piece allows me to approach new musicals with a simultaneously wholistic yet forensic eye. I am always keen to meet new writers and discuss evolving projects, at whatever stage they might be on their journey.
If you have a project you would like to discuss please do contact me care of helen@thesohoagency.co.uk.
