Munotida Chinyanga is a London based collaborative theatre maker specialising in Directing, Sound Design and Live Arts. Munotida works with text and sound in a process that is similar to that of a DJ by sampling/mixing narratives or chunks of text as well as scoring atmospheres and working sonically exploring cognitive behaviours to produce contemporary work.

Munotida has three styles of work:

1. Multi-sensory, interdisciplinary work that involves investigating the balance between design and performance. An alternative experience, that blurs the boundaries between film, sound, music, projection and live art, to birth a visceral experience – a hybridised performance. To make design on stage something that is alive, breathing and evolving narratively as the text does, empowering the performers as Live Designers.

2. Stylised Naturalism, that plays with non-linear and the ‘anti-narrative’.

3. Pro-wrestling storytelling. Working in the world of wrestling using theatrical techniques to tell stories.

Munotida trained at Middlesex University, the Almeida’s Emerging Directors programme the Young Vic’s Director Training Programme including Springboard 2018, Fresh Direction 2018 and as the Boris Karloff Trainee Assistant Director.
