Meet the Team

Lara Elizabeth Sprosen

I am an actor originally from Gloucestershire now based in London, UK. I studied at the University of Birmingham and Guildford School of Acting, and most of my work has been based in forum theatre, immersive performance, and historical interpretation - you can often find me dressed up in costume at a heritage site! I am so excited to be joining THE HERDS Emerging Company, and cannot wait to begin collaborating on this incredible project.

When the climate crisis can feel so hopeless and out of our control at times, THE HERDS is, to me, a reminder of the power of community. THE HERDS is the result of a massive effort from all over the globe, and will connect countless people to the reality of the impact of climate change. Despite the fear of this reality, the images I’ve seen so far of THE HERDS have provided me with so much optimism. As the animals continue to move through country to country, it is proof that people want to be proactive to protect the planet, and work together for hope for the future.
