Hello! I’m Maya, a theatre director/writer/maker. I like making work about connection, capitalism, and the climate, and anything that's a bit strange. Paying attention is at the core of what I do.

 

As a director, my most recent work includes The Untold Story of Alice Breakspear at Offbeat Festival, and I previously adapted and directed Forward-Prize winning Emily Berry’s Stranger, Baby. As a writer, I work across poetry and theatre and regularly facilitate workshops. Most recently I won the Creative Future Award for poetry, and in 2023 I was comissioned by Chronic Insanity to write ONLYCONNECT, a digital interactive story about friendship, trust, and capitalism.
