Cagn Cochrane

“The hardest thing in the world is to live only once.”
— Ocean Vuong

Cagn Cochrane takes his name from a South African shapeshifting trickster deity …
a reminder that transformation, storytelling and play sit deep in the heart of his heart.

Educated in Classics, Philosophy, Sociology, History, Literature, and Theatre,
Cagn has stubbornly tried, no jokes, to be and do everything.

His life, lessons and longings span continents and disciplines: from games, fine art, music, theatre, and dance, to film, design, business, activism, and education.

He has worked as a founder, a freelancer, and a fellow, at junior, managerial and directorial level.

A nomadic minimalist, Cagn is most at home in transit between places, ideas, and practices.

He is as happy in a a lecture hall, as a rehearsal room, or a board meeting, or the ramshackle roadside café of derelict Italian train station.
