Introduction to Sketch-Comedy!

My name is Alex Ogando and I am a South West based theatre director, facilitator, and Dramatherapy student currently in the first year of my MA.I am passionate about empowering others to use theatre as a vehicle for self exploration, expression, and growth. So I regularly run workshops which teach key skills in theatre, performance, comedy and storytelling, whilst also focusing on the importance of living creatively in order to boost your confidence, build meaningful connections, and prioritise your wellbeing.
