Hope is driven by stories that explore gender identity and representation, lesser known narratives, and is mad for anything with a little bit of magic! Music and movement are key elements of her work, and she enjoys making ensemble led, collaborative and consent forward work with guts, whether that’s a classic texts, musicals or wonderful new writing.
