Selva Fox
Selva Fox ( Director, Actress, Aerial Instructor and Visual staging)
She is one of the founding members and director of Nhi-Mu. Her approach to improvisation and her intuitive nature makes her staging a masterful combination of the emotionality in the form and amasement. Whether she is staging an aerial piece, object theater or a children’s show, these are always filled with a sense of play with focus on the audience experience and where the actors/performers are invited to experiment with the vulnerability of creation.
At the helm of Nhi-Mu for 25 years, the group has since inspired and grown in its constant ensemble culture and inclusion, both in the arts and in social endeavors in which culture and art are -though sometimes invisibles- an invaluable essence.
