Outer Limits – Direct Trajectories – Forging a Career in Theatre Directing with Hannah Joss

Join Hannah Joss – Associate Director (Literary) at Chichester Festival Theatre – to explore the multitude of trajectories into theatre directing

Hannah will demystify the pathways available to early-career directors; from making your own work, to assisting at major theatres, and not forgetting those pesky talent development schemes somewhere in the middle.


This workshop is for early-career professional directors who will have graduated from a recognised directing course and/or have completed your first professional directing/assistant directing job with a run of at least 11 performances.


Hannah is Associate Director (Literary) at Chichester Festival Theatre. Credits include Choir (CFT), Original Death Rabbit (Jermyn Street Theatre) and Carry on Jaywick (HighTide/Vault Festival). She was Resident Director at National Theatre Studio; Baylis Assistant Director at The Old Vic; Resident Director at the Almeida Theatre and part of the 2020-21 Old Vic 12 cohort. She worked as an assistant director at the National Theatre, Old Vic, Almeida Theatre, Bush Theatre, Bridge Theatre and Royal Shakespeare Company.
