Sophie Austin

SWS23 shortlisted

I'm a storyteller working across theatre, film and audio to tell stories that bond us to the natural world. I specialise in writing and directing site-responsive projects that work with communities; human and more-than-human to explore the nature of our co-existence.
I am a Bio-Leadership Fellow with the Bio-Leadership Project; a movement of people and organisations, changing human systems to be more resilient, regenerative, and designed to protect and regenerate our planet.
I am writer in residence at the ancient woodland of Lesnes Abbey Woods, Creative Associate at international arts organisation Dash Arts and am a joyfilled freelancer, happy to collaborate with organisations and individual to tell the most powerful and profound stories.
