Biography

Monica is a Bristol-based director, performer and producer. She has a BA in Drama from the University of Exeter and will be completing her MA in Drama Directing at BOVTS this summer.

Her previous credits include Assistant Director of As You Like It for BOVTS (Malcolm X Community Centre) and Director of Shit by Patricia Cornelius (University of Exeter). Monica was also a member of Bristol Old Vic’s Made in Bristol 2015-16 cohort, a scheme for emerging theatre makers.

She is passionate about stories which focus on characters taking command of their own narrative, and is excited to make work which has heart, a sense of release and that shakes you alive.

I've worked with visiting professionals this year that I never would have even dreamed of working with. It's been an amazing experience. Thomas Donnan, BA Professional Acting Student
