About Giselle Ty

(Not often on linkedin!)I am a freelance stage director who splits my time between New York and London. I work both in theater and opera, and have also been exploring forms that lie somewhere between theater, installation, and performance art. As a former orchestral trumpet player who also studied art history, I enjoy interdisciplinary approaches to theater-making and love working with dancers and live musicians. I typically also love site-specific work, challenging source material, and ensemble-driven devising. Have lived in the UK, US, Philippines, and France.Places I\'ve worked:STAGE DIRECTOR or DIRECTOR/CREATOR: Boston Lyric Opera, Peabody Essex Museum, Center for Contemporary Opera, Houston Grand Opera (HGOco Opera to Go!), New York University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Simpson College, Juventas New Music Ensemble, Guerilla OperaASSOCIATE or ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: Royal Opera House (London), l\'Opéra National de Bordeaux, Icelandic Opera, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Gotham Chamber Opera, Opera Omaha, American Repertory Theatre, A.R.T./MXAT Institute for Advanced Theatre TrainingTraining and Associations: SITI Company (Viewpoints/Suzuki), L\'École Jacques Lecoq, Paris (movement, clown), Lincoln Center Directors Lab, Directors Lab Chicago, New Georges Affiliated ArtistLanguages: French (bilingual), German (C1 / advanced), Italian (B2/C1), Spanish (depends on the day)
