Marion Geoffray
Marion Geoffray is a performer, theatre-maker and arts educator with over a decade of experience in the performing arts and education sectors. She’s had the chance to collaborate with leading arts and cultural organisations in Scotland (Imaginate, Lyra, YTAS, Starcatchers, NGS, Fringe Society, EIF and of course Strange Town!) as well as in F.E/H.E (University of Stirling, Edinburgh, RCS, QMU and The Scottish Institute) delivering high quality and engaging artistic projects and acting training.
She has a strong background in youth theatre, community engagement and creative learning. At the heart of her work is a socially engaged practice founded on rights-based and play-based approaches. She likes to use devising, new writing and physical theatre to create performances on the themes of communication, home, and identity, often adopting a multi-sensory and multi-cultural approach. As a migrant artist living and working in Scotland, she is highly passionate about offering a fair, inclusive, innovative and diverse access to the arts for all while championing the next generation of Scottish artists.
Credits include: PROM(ise) an immersive experience about prom night, Where Are You? A multilingual pop up performance commissioned by Imaginate and Arts in Tongues, a mini-web series for families about cultural, artistic and historical heritage in Edinburgh which won the Creative Edinburgh Collaboration Award in 2021.

She also runs Zoom workshops for young people across the UK with the same rare syndrome (Kabuki) as herself. They gain so much by connecting through drama.
