Cassandra Wye

Since 1991, Cassandra has worked in theatres and festivals, around galleries and museums, in and out of schools, by firelight and starlight, from the depths of the jungle to the middle of the sea.

Inspired by Asian interweaving of art forms, she combines elements of circus, theatre and dance to create a style of storytelling that is truly her own.

As a solo artist she has toured nationally and internationally, including Barbados, Laos, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia.

As teacher and trainer, she has inspired children and adults to tell stories around the world. As a director she has: trained teenage apprentice storytellers, devised performances with casts of ninety children, directed solo and ensemble professional performances.

Above all as an artist she is committed to making storytelling as accessible as possible, to break down barriers and challenge discrimination. She has worked with disabled people, arts, health and environmental agencies, social services and children in care.
