CHARLOTTE DUBERY - Death

 

Charlotte is a theatre maker, performer and puppeteer based in London whose practice is fueled by a desire to tell stories. She has a first class honours degree from the University of Exeter, where she was also awarded the Israel Bertie Black Prize for Most Outstanding Student. Her passion for visual storytelling and creating theatre as an ensemble took her to École Jacques Lecoq, when she then trained for two years.

 

Charlotte has performed, written, designed and directed theatre work for indoor and outdoor shows across the UK and internationally. Her strong background in dance feeds into her physical work; she regularly collaborates with several companies as a movement director and choreographer.

As a natural hoarder of unwanted unusual objects, Charlotte spends a lot of time rummaging around flea markets and gives discarded treasures a new life and story. Her fascination with character and found objects has sparked an interest in stop motion animation and puppetry, which she is currently experimenting and playing with in her studio.
