Hazel Roy: Co - Producer

Hazel has a professional arts career spanning 45 years, and now divides her time between writing, acting, teaching dance & theatre, and travelling. She has worked with Feelgood Theatre Productions Manchester for several years in a no of roles from actor/director/producer and Marketing Director and conceived Eloquent Protest with Artistic Director Caroline Clegg as a supporting piece to Stephen MacDonald’s WW1 play Not About Heroes – not realising it would be so popular that the cast (and audience) would demand it be repeated each year to mark Armistice Sunday. The London version of Eloquent Protest 3 takes place in the West End on November 9th with veteran British politician Tony Benn. The Kathmandu cast will be taking part in the UK production before they travel to Nepal to perform Eloquent Protest at the International Theatre Festival on November 12th.

Hazel has taught in Nepal and was a Co-Director with Sunil Pokharel of Rivers of Shame a young people’s production devised for the International Labour Organisation SCREAM project in 2002. She returned to Nepal to contribute to Aarohan’s Ibsen Centennial Festival in 2006. She has also worked with Augusto Boal’s Centro de Teatro Oprimido in Brazil and Janasanskriti in West Bengal. She is a founder of the charity New Futures Nepal which supports orphaned Nepalese disabled children and author of the book Three months in Nepal. She was pleased to play a part in bringing classical musicians Sukarma to the UK for the Nepal fest in June 2008 and young actors from Aarohan to the Contacting the World fest in Liverpool this summer. She hopes to bring the entire company of Aarohan to the UK in due course! As a social activist she joined the US Pastors for Peace Caravan this summer breaking the US embargo with 125 other caravanistas to take aid from the USA to Cuba. She is doing her best to grow old disgracefully. No change there then.
