Directing.
Elodie's priorities as a director are collaboration and treating their team with compassion and respect. They put trust into the people they work with, in the hopes that they will do the same in return.
​
Elodie believes that each stage of putting on a play, from writing to directing, acting and finally watching, all contribute something valuable to the production. Their aim is to guide their actors towards an outcome that they have arrived at confidently, using their own artistic instincts.
​
Elodie has a keen sense of both the aesthetic value of a play, as well as the essentials of character dynamics. They have directed both strictly realistic plays, as well as more stylised pieces, all with rich, deeply explored relationships at their core.

Reviews
Dracula
“A very progressive and imaginative production.”
Hyde
“[Foray's] imaginative riff on the idea...found a new angle on the intrinsic battle between good and evil that Stevenson dared to suggest are at play inside everyone.”
Confusion
“It was an original and comic inversion...a delicious mix...subverting the stereotypes and putting a contemporary spin on them, with a generous dash of farce and innuendo. All in all a hilarious romp.”
Artful Monsters
“During the two hours of ‘Artful Monsters’ there was barely a movement or a sound from the mesmerised audience…Elodie’s writing is inspired, flowing from humour to dark horror, giving us a chilling insight...cleverly intertwining hints of the strange stories they will create.”
