DIRK HOULT

After years of indie theatre-making, my work has evolved into a joyful exploration of hope, often discovered in the darkest of places. It’s funny, heartfelt, raw, and real - an orchestrated chaos that spills between text, movement, song, and dance. My journey informs my art, ensuring that every story is grounded in authenticity and compassion. Driven by a deep curiosity to understand life through the uniquely tilted lens and language of theatre, I shine a light on stories that connect us and celebrate our diverse human condition.

​

I’ve learned that shame dissolves in safe spaces, so I strive to create worlds where stories of otherness are celebrated and normalised - audacious spectacles that spark conversation and foster empathy long after the curtain falls. For me, theatre isn’t just something we watch - it’s a shared adventure we experience together. It’s a vibrant, complicit conversation that invites audiences to embrace our differences and see that, despite them, we are all part of the same narrative - one that allows us to heal and grow together.

​

Collaboration is at the heart of my work, whether through plays, musical theatre, or cabaret. I’m passionate about teaming up with emerging theatre artists, playwrights, and producers, nurturing original theatrical creations, and amplifying voices that too often go unheard.
