About Me.
Flora Emily Thomson is a collaborative theatre artist drawn to new writing, radical adaptations, and the intersection of folk culture, physical theatre, music, and cabaret.
Based in Glasgow but working across the UK, Flora Emily practices across a range of theatrical genres. She is currently Resident Director of Scottish Opera's Young Company, and has previously directed comedy shows and cabaret across the UK fringe circuit.
Flora Emily approaches storytelling with a sensory, visceral lens. With a background in movement/dance and music, she uses these as a language to enable themes to resonate, and achieve intimate moments within epic aesthetics.
Flora Emily's work explores wonder, belonging, healing, and connection, whilst grappling with complex ethical and societal challenges. These themes are informed by her time studying History & Politics at Goldsmiths, University of London, graduating with first class honours and being awarded the Department of History Final Year Prize.
Flora Emily Thomson practices a collaborative, empathic and energising approach that centres people, process, and transparency. She aspires to make work that justifies the live, tangible space, and that challenges the distinction between community and main stage productions.
