Katie Mitchell's Internship Programmes
During each semester of my studies at Royal Holloway University of London under the mentorship of Katie Mitchell, I had the privilege of engaging in Mitchell's productions as part of the observation internship programme. These experiences stand as significant milestones for me, as they afforded me the chance to not only witness the entire production process from rehearsal room to performance but also to actively participate as an assistant director under her guidance. These remarkable opportunities have fueled my aspirations to work in London, the epicenter of the global performance industry.
