About

Hope is a freelance director, intimacy professional, movement director and facilitator. She is based in Bristol and works throughout the UK, often in the South West and London in both Theatre and TV and film. She has worked at theatres such as Bristol Old Vic Theatre, Tobacco Factory Theatre, Southwark Playhouse and  Shakespeare’s Globe, and with drama schools such as Bristol Old VIc Theatre School and East 15. 

Whether it be adaptations of classics, musicals or new writing, 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 work with guts.

Hope is a trained Intimacy Professional with Intimacy Professionals NYC and will achieve full certification in April 2025.

Previous to this, Hope graduated in 2021 from Bristol Old Vic Theatre School with a Masters in Drama Directing and studied English Literature at the University of Bristol, graduating in 2017.
