Tana made her directorial debut in 2007 with a production of Alice In Wonderland, which she adapted for stage. She studied Acting (BA, 1st), at The Liverpool Institute For Performing Arts, with a heavy focus on directing and devising. With a background in physical theatre and original work, her directorial style is rooted in improvisation and collaboration. She strives to explore the complex issues of our time with truth and humor, and is particularly drawn to lightness in moments of despair, and honesty in absurdity.

Directing highlights include The NYC Premiere of Kieron Barry’s Tomorrow In The Battle, (Ars Nova), a self-adapted production of The Yellow Wallpaper based on the short story by Charlotte Perkins Gillman, (Edinburgh Fringe Festival), Ionesco’s absurdist two-hander, The Chairs (Player’s Ring), a post-apocalyptic original play about a girl’s quest for the last place on earth with trees titled “The Last Eden” (The Kazimier, Liverpool), and Don Nigro’s Seascape With Sharks And Dancer (Cap 21, NYC). Film directing credits include four music videos for Margot & The Midnight Tenants (I Will Make Some Noise, Button-Down Shirt, Something Like, and Oksana), as well as a music video for Ambrose Getz titled Fantasies.
