Director: Maeve Jourand
From the age of 12, Maeve has always dreamed of being on stage. While she was still at school, she joined a Theater Musical groupe, and was accepted at the Conservatory of Dramatic Arts in Rennes (France) to study acting. At the end of high school, she was selected to enter AICOM, a professional stage school in Paris, where she studied singing, acting and dance for three years. After her studies Maeve was chosen to perform in a musical in Paris, had premier roles in several musicals in Morocco, as well as the world-renowned Avignon Festival. In 2022, she decided to go to Korea, where she fixed herself a new challenge : to build her career in this beautiful country. And as Maeve loves new challenges, she decided “why not take on my first project directing at the 10-Minute Play Festival?” Let’s see how this new adventure turns out for her…!
