‘Who needed sets, when Rayner effectively had six pieces of human scenery to play with? [...] It was fantastically detailed stuff, intrinsic to the storytelling.’

Hello - I’m Sam.
My productions are playful and highly physical - from acrobatic takes on classics to genre-bending new writing. My work has been named as a Critic’s Pick in The New York Times and Playbill, and featured in The Guardian’s “Readers’ Favourite Stage Shows of 2022”.

Hello - I’m Sam.
I’m a director and movement director - working across theatre, opera and stand-up comedy. I’m Resident Director of Back to the Future (West End) and Joint Artistic Director of award-winning, international physical theatre company Voloz Collective.
My productions are playful and highly physical - from acrobatic takes on classics to genre-bending new writing. My work has been named as a Critic’s Pick in The New York Times and Playbill, and featured in The Guardian’s “Readers’ Favourite Stage Shows of 2022”.
As a movement director, my work ranges from magic-realism to slapstick comedy. I’ve collaborated with Jack Whitehall, Leo Reich, Liam Williams and Richard Gadd, shaping physical sequences for Netflix, Tiger Aspect, HBO and A24. My movement work has been described as “intensely funny” (The Guardian) and “a fearless display of physicality that shape shifts from ludicrous tomfoolery to raw menace” (The List).
I speak French and Spanish with professional working fluency and have a basic understanding of Arabic (MSA).
