Sean Palmer

Born in 1977. Dad, husband, independent vocal/theatre artist. Sean primarily works in theatres as an actor, composer or director, and lives in Warsaw, Poland since 2008. He has been a member of the Chorea family since its first incarnation - Orkeistra Antyczna - in 2001. As actor he has performed in the Meyerhold Centre in Moscow ('After the Birds', CHOREA Theatre), Covent Garden Opera House, London ('Mac//Beth', Teatr De Oscuro) and the National Opera in Warsaw ('Oresteia', dir. Michał Zadara). Since 2016 he increasingly specialises in performances for younger audiences. Most notably, directing the final project of 'PODAJ DALEJ' youth project (for Stuka Nowa Association, 2016), composing live beatbox music for 'DOM' (Teatr Baj, dir.

Michał Zadara, 2018), and preparing an experimental radio play on the topic of Janusz Korczak entitled 'The Dreamer in Our House' for the Theatre Institute in Warsaw. Sean is also an unorthodox (read ‘untrained’) composer and conductor leading two large choirs in Warsaw. POLIN Choir (2014, with Kuba Pałys) a community choir resident at the POLIN Museum, and Gre Badanie Chór Eksperymentalny - his own experimental group founded in 2010. Both are active artistically with at least two concerts a year with original music. Sean loves to run and writes about it on his blog a 'Vegan Not-Quite-Ultra Runner’s Diary'.
