Bethan Clark
Fight Director / Intimacy Coordinator
Bethan is a Fight Director working in theatre and film and a Senior Teacher with the British Academy of Dramatic Combat. She combines her work as a fight practitioner with intimacy direction and coordination.
She trained initially as an actor on the MA Classical Acting at Drama Centre and BA Drama at Exeter University.
