Emma Copland Theatre Director

Emma Copland is a theatre director, based primarily in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I have recently been awarded an INVEST 2025 Fellowship, mentored by Steven Atkinson, and Erica Whyman, with Theatre and Dance NI. I am interested in theatre that entertains and surprises audiences, particularly new writing and classical adaptations. I am currently exploring leadership models, and have shadowed Tamara Harvey, worked with Emma Jordan, Paula McFetridge and Lisa May.
Emma is interested in directing with process at the heart.:
Connection
Care
Compassion
Process as research and product
New writing and Shakespeare
Based in the Belfast, Northern Ireland and London and Glasgow, UK.
