Grania Pickard Profile

I am an actor, physical theatre performer and director, and Artistic Director of circus-theatre company Oddly Moving. The highlights of my 15 year career have been touring internationally with Ockham's Razor and the creation of two devised touring shows with Oddly Moving.

I take an embodied approach to all of my work, influenced by Le Coq style training and experiences of creating devised work that combines circus and theatre. I retired from performing aerial in 2024 but this physicality still informs my practise.

I am currently working on a solo show 'The Notes Show' about the secrets we tell our phones, and putting plans in place to direct a large scale aerial adaptation of Macbeth.

I have a keen interest in Shakespeare, having learnt a lot from Michael Corbidge and Simon Trinder (ICAT) and grateful for the confidence and text detective skills this has given me.
