Lauren Hart graduated in 2007 from The Central School of Speech and Drama in London where she trained as a performer and Theatre maker. Since graduating she has worked professionally in the independent theatre scene around Europe performing her own work and collaborating with other artists. She has previously trained with The Grotowski Institute, Anu Almagro, Dimitris Varkas (Song of the Goat) Nigel Charnock (DV8), John Britton (Duende), Company of Wolves, Frantic Assembly, Tmesis, Gob Squad, Dante or Die, Pas De Dieux and Minako Seki. During her university studies she undertook various training within the field of physical theatre and movement. She has performed at various venues and site-specific locations in the UK, Germany, Norway, Finland and Greece.
Lauren's work is focused around themes of intimacy, connection and anonymity. She has an ongoing interest in the different types of relationships that can be developed and challenged between the audience and performer. She is interested in blurring the lines between performance and everyday life. All her work is devised and created from scratch so each performance is unique and tailored made.
She specialises in one-to-one performance, audience participation, physical theatre and site-specific theatre. Previous performances have taken place in disused toilets, prisons, apartments, via Skype video call, shops and warehouses. Her aim is to create performances that are focused on contributing to positive social change rather than simply just to entertain.
In addition to her work in theatre, she has 12 years experience working as a Drama Specialist with children, young people and adults in a variety of educational, community and professional organisations. Roles include drama specialist, youth worker, workshop facilitator, mentor, teacher and theatre practitioner. She is based in Sheffield and is in her final year of training to be a Dramatherapist. She is passionate about creating value in her community using the therapeutic tools of theatre to inspire and make a fundamental difference to children and young people.
