Catherine Simmonds (2011), timor leste
As an artistic director Catherine’s focus is the space between the lived experiences of communities and the language of art. She was a lead actress with the IRAA theatre for 10 years where themes of displacement, identity and cultural minorities were prominent in her performances. During her residency at Many Hands in Timor Leste, Catherine will take on the simultaneously challenging and rewarding task of implementing a theatrical process within a community that has never been involved in the art of theatre-making.
