About me
Born and raised from North-West England, Connor Wood graduated from Royal Holloway, University London with a first-class honours degree in Mathematics and Music. During his studies he was awarded, the Alice Daugherty Chaplin Prize for Performance. Connor has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and sang with Royal Holloway Founder’s Choir across Europe, including in Krakow, Rome and Berlin, as well as for the Queen’s Master of Music, Judith Weir. Throughout 2020, he continued to develop as a performer, originating a role in critically acclaimed new play, As Long As You Knew, which went on to run at the Golden Goose Theatre at the end of 2021 – Connor also composed an original theme for another work by the writer.Connor recently appeared in a campaign video for Leicestershire Police, and a series of training videos for National Rail. Connor has hugely enjoyed developing as a performer this year, studying on the MA Musical Theatre course at the Royal Academy of Music, particularly honing in on his storytelling abilities. He is excited to explore a variety of performance idioms in the very near future.
