Alana Rader
theatre maker/poet/speaker
Director
What drives me as a director is the opportunity to explore the human condition, highlight the margins, and champion the underdog through reinterpreting the classics and discovering new stories. I am passionate about the development of new works, amplifying new voices and am always curious to delve deeper into the text.
