Yuxuan Liu

MA Drama Directing Student


Biography

Yuxuan is excited by fun, provocative, inventive, and international theatre experiences. As a result, he is constantly searching for interesting, touching, and imaginative stories from around the world to stage creatively. As a director, he devises original work and stages existing plays, incorporating text, music, movement, and puppetry.

From 2018 to 2021, he trained on the BA World Performance course at East 15 Acting School. Whilst at BOVTS, Yuxuan worked as the assistant director and musical director on Sammy and the Sea Morgans directed by Liz Felton (Theatre in Education Tour), and as an assistant director on Loam directed by Marcus Romer (Bristol Old Vic). His recent directing credits include: Hamlet (2022, The Wardrobe Theatre), Fallen Leaves (2021, Clifftown Theatre).

One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels ‘homegrown’. From the set to the costume, lighting, acting and sound, every single aspect of a theatre production or film is down to the students. The location of Clifton is so serene and the School being so small everyone knows each other and it feels so personal and special. Violet Morris, BA Professional Acting Student
