Lionel

SDC began working with Lionel and 35 incredibly talented performers during 2016 on Pop-Up Theatric's ''Broken City Wall Street''. There was an opening in SDC's production of Caridad Svich's seminal work, ''Carthage", he was perfect for the part. Lionel became an important international artistic collaborator and contributor at SDC, his spoken word poetry merged with signtheatre is a new art form.
Noemi
We met Noemi in her home town, Ljubljana, Slovenia, one of our favorite cities in the World. We immediately fell in love with her passion and energy and her exquiste art. She lives in Berlin now and works in the heart of an exciting arts scene with her solo performance art pieces. We are really excited to be collaborating with her on ''Time''.

David
David grew up in North Wales and this beautiful land and culture informs his work greatly. David has worked internationally for 25 years and his ability to share and communicate with many communities across the world means he is an excellent collaborator. He ensures SDC is able to stay within our international communities for good periods of time, rather than just dropping in & out quickly. He is a tour de force artistically in the company and leads much of its artistic development and inclusive drive.
