ELIN SCHOFIELD

I am a UK based award-winning director, writer and movement director working primarily in the creation of original work, new adaptations and artist development. I am drawn to the reclamation of women's stories throughout history, the excavation of familial relationships and projects that have physical scope. 

​

My recent work includes Revival Directing the West End hit TILL THE STARS COME DOWN at Theatre Royal Haymarket and DEAR ENGLAND at the National Theatre. 

 

I directed the critically acclaimed A DOLL'S HOUSE by Henrik Ibsen in a new adaptation by Chris Bush for Sheffield Theatres' Crucible. It was described as "deeply moving" (The Guardian), "a taut and gripping watch" (The Stage) and "riveting" (The Times). I also directed the closing of the Olivier Awards 2024 - a celebration of the National Theatre at 60. 

 

I directed the final play in ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS, the Chris Bush triptych at Sheffield Theatres in celebration of the theatre’s 50th anniversary, for which I won the Best Director Award at the 2022 UK Theatre Awards.​​

I am an ex-competitive Latin American and Ballroom dancer and teacher and a fully qualified Personal Trainer.

I am represented by Alexandra Cory at Berlin Associates.
