Biography
Lydia McKinley is a theatre director and dramaturg who works mainly in the development of new-writing. She is currently finishing an MA in Drama Directing at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, and is based between the South West and London.
Her work tends to centre around the female experience, the politics of gender and the climate crisis.
It was always stressed that the contacts you make during your training are incredibly important, and your classmates are likely to end up being on set alongside you in the future. After working with a director of photography on one of the School’s short films, I was invited to work on a project with him outside of Bristol - proving that the professionals we meet via the School, may one day give us a call to action!
