Our Father

Mo Korede (He/Him) is a theatre-maker (writer, director, artistic director). He has run his theatre company Imagiphoria Studios for the past 8/9 years, which do work based on psychological realism and perspective theatre. All Mo's work has been written by himself and he has performed in various places (London, Lagos, Preston). Mo is highly fascinated by creating work that allows others to understand each other more rather than a hero-villain complex. Alongside theatre, he is a poet and a young associate at the Hammersmith Lyric.

Mo is currently doing the MFA Directing Course at Birkbeck and, whilst doing so, he has assisted the likes of Sarah Frankom and Diane Page. Mo will start his role as the resident assistant director of the Lyric Hammersmith at the end of July.
