Ella Rides - Company and Artistic Director
Ella founded the company in 2020 shortly after graduating in Acting from Rose Bruford College. With her breadth of educational. social and care experience working with and listening to children and young people who experience the world in complex ways, she has found a unique way to use conservatoire training on a sensory landscape. Ella is excited to make theatre that tailors itself to each audience member and create magic stories that transport children to places this world might not allow them.
