Director
I am a visionary and results-driven director with a proven track record of curating innovative, multi-disciplinary projects that push creative boundaries.
With extensive experience across theatre, live events, film, and audio, I specialize in designing immersive, inclusive experiences that not only elevate underrepresented voices but also drive impactful social change.
Hear Myself Think (2022)
Season 2 Episode 3 Directed by Amarachi Rachel Nwokoro
Recent highlights include directing an episode of the award-winning participatory audio-theatre series Hear Myself Think, which is currently streaming in over 25 countries worldwide. This project allowed me to collaborate with a Black disabled creative team, designing inclusive workshops and focusing on how race and disability intersect in shaping health narratives.
With a deep passion for exploring the intersection of disability and community, I’m committed to making lasting cultural impact both on and off stage. My work is defined by a commitment to transformative access and equity, always ensuring that marginalized communities are not only represented but also actively engaged in the creative process.

Funeral Flowers (2018–2019)
Directed by Amarachi Rachel Nwokoro for Power Play Theatre Activists & Harts Theatre Company
Between 2018 and 2019, I served as Director of Funeral Flowers—a one-woman immersive play written and performed by Emma Dennis-Edwards. Originally commissioned by the Royal Court Theatre as part of the Tottenham Festival, the production received support from The Pleasance and Clean Break for its full-length debut at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2018. Following its award-winning festival run, it transferred to London venues including The Bunker Theatre, Bernie Grant Arts Centre, and the Free Word Centre in Spring 2019.
