Musical Theatre - Adjunct Instructor
Joe Revell is a music director, educator, and theatre-maker working across musical theatre, actor-musician practice, and collaborative performance-making. He holds an MA with Distinction in Music Directing from Leeds Conservatoire, postgraduate training from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and a BSc in Psychology from the University of St Andrews.
His professional work includes music directing and supervising productions in the UK and the US, including Hedwig and the Angry Inch, RENT, Bonnie and Clyde and and Snapshots: A Musical Scrapbook. As a composer and writer, he created The Flood, a documentary theatre musical developed from interviews with residents of Hebden Bridge following the 2015 floods which toured in the UK in 2025.
Alongside professional practice, Joe has extensive experience as an accompanist, vocal coach, and teacher, working with performers across conservatoire, university, school, and community settings. His research interests grow directly from their rehearsal-room experience and focus on collaborative creative practice – particularly how psychological factors such as communication, trust, and role clarity can support or inhibit successful cross-disciplinary collaboration in various theatrical settings.
