Namoo (she/they) is a UK-based Korean theatre director, writer and producer.

Her work is political, questioning existing norms through an East Asian female lens. She is driven by themes of cultural colonialism, feminism, liminality and restorative justice, and she uses form as a key element of storytelling across genres — including plays, musicals, opera, dance and puppetry.

Namoo often draws inspiration from folklore and mythology featuring powerful female figures, reimagining these tales as contemporary narratives. With a background in Korean ritual theatre, she believes theatre is a space that speaks to — and for — the invisible.

Artistic Director of KASSNA KOLLEKTIV — an East Asian female-led interdisciplinary collective — she is also an Origins Director at HEADLONG THEARE, a mentee with PROJEKT EUROPA, and a member of the Criterion Writers’ Group.
