Qui/Who?
Marion Geoffray,
Director/Founder, theatre practitioner and bilingual actress.
Marion is a professionally trained actress who has studied Drama both in France and in the UK. After completing her MA at RADA in 2011, she performed in many stage productions and films in and around London.
She has an extensive background in teaching Drama to both children and adults in various settings (workshops, schools, communities, festivals, private). In 2013 she created bilingual (French/English) workshops in partnership with EDUCA London, devising and directing original end of year shows with her students. Since then, she has collaborated with The Crescent Theatre in Birmingham, Festival d’Avignon, The Fringe, The BBC, Edinburgh Acting School, Drama Studio, Theatre Re, Edinburgh University and many other institutions delivering workshops, producing shows and providing consultancy.
With TSA, Marion has finally found a space and a voice to express herself and share her passion for languages and Theatre. She particularly enjoys exploring the boundaries of language whilst questioning gender, social behaviours and cultural clichés on stage.
