Courage. Curiosity. Openness.
About Me
Hey there! I’m Alex (she/her), a UK-based theatre director, intimacy director/coordinator, writer, and teacher.
I love telling adventurous stories that amplify the experiences of women and queer folx. After my secret mission to incorporate a dinosaur into all of my projects was discovered, I founded T. Regina Theatre Co* with the goal of making "chewy theatre for chewy humans."
I hold an MFA in Theatre Directing from East 15 Acting School in London and a BA in Theatre from Whitworth University. As an intimacy professional, I have trained with Intimacy Directors and Coordinators (IDC) and Theatrical Intimacy Education (TIE). I am also a guest tutor at East 15.
I am committed to using antiracist, consent based, and trauma-informed practices in my rehearsals and classrooms.
Originally from Wenatchee, WA, USA and currently based in London, my theatrical adventures have taken me to Chicago, DC, Ohio, New Hampshire, El Salvador, Poland and Indonesia. I am the creator of Out There (2022, Andy's Summer Playhouse) and the co-creator of Poetry and Prose (2019, Whitworth University), two original musicals.
When not in rehearsal, you can find me wandering bookstores, snacking on dill pickles, or locating the nearest cat for a snuggle.
