Creative Producer
Lennie Varvarides
Lennie Varvarides is the Founder of DYSPLA and the Creative Producer on all our in-house projects as well as our commission.
Lennie has a BA in Visual Arts form UAL, an MA in Writing for Performance from the Royal Central School of Speach and Drama as well as a Level 4 NVQ in Business Mangement from Tower Hamlets College, making her a strange hybrid of part 'creative' part 'entrepreneur'. (Lennie is also the founder of MSFT Management, a theatrical talent agency which provides constant casting support for all our DYSPLA productions over the years).
Lennie loves experimental, multi-disciplinary work that incorporates installations, immersive theatre and moving image work to sculpt the space. Lennie is particularly curious to see how far the role of the audience can be pushed in the live art area. After completing a six-month placement with WFTV, Lennie now not only mixes up art forums in her work but can also cross between the commercial and art world like a mermaid.
