Helen Nelder is a theatrical writer and director whose work is based on real-life experiences. Helen founded w@rn Theatre Company to develop and perform original and challenging plays.
Using her trademark style of physical theatre – combining surreal images and characters with naturalistic situations – Helen's work is highly visual, explosive and very powerful.
Helen's acclaimed play, w@rn, is a story of domestic violence. Since its premiere in 2000 it has been performed for police, social services, local councillors and the judiciary in support of training and awareness events.
w@rn Theatre Company has now developed a multimedia training pack, based on the play. The pack comprises a video DVD and a set of accompanying notes and exercises, all presented in a glossy A4 binder. Details and ordering information.
Helen's provocative play, What I Just Shot, tackles the subject of war photography. WIJS premièred at the New Venture Theatre, Brighton, in November 2004 and was later performed at The Hawth, Crawley, in June, 2005, as part of Refugee Week. Helen is currently rewriting parts of the script. |
