IRA MANDELA SIOBHAN
MOVEMENT DIRECTOR & CHOREOGRAPHER
Hey, I’m Ira - I'm a choreographer, movement director, actor and dancer. I have spent almost 20 years working with companies such as DV8, Punchdrunk, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Akram Khan Dance Company, The National Theatre and The Globe Theatre.
As a performer, some of my career highlights have been embodying Nugget in Ned Bennet’s production of Equus in the West End, creating the original Maugrim the wolf in Sally Cookson’s The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe as well as playing the young Queen's love interest in Netflix's The Crown. I had the honour of working with Greta Gerwig on Barbie, when I played one of the Ken's and was also involved in the development of the movement sequences.
As a movement director, I had the privilege of working with Carrie Cracknell and an incredible cast of 27 for The National Theatre's The Grapes of Wrath. I also had the pleasure of being movement director on Strike! at The Southwark Playhouse, Manic Street Creature (Southwark Playhouse), Addictive Beat (Boundless Theatre) and 16 Postcodes by Jessica Regan. I was also associate movement director on Mlima's Tale at The Kiln Theatre.
