Niall Fallon is a Director, Creative Producer, and Doctoral Researcher, specialising in movement direction, dramaturgy, and ensemble-based performance. Niall works across opera, physical theatre, and interdisciplinary performance where his credits include large houses such as the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Teatro Real Madrid, The Dutch National Opera, and the Salzburger Festspiele. Alongside this, his independent work has taking him across tours of India, East Asia and Europe, through founding award winning devising theatre companies for Fringe Festivals (including Edinburgh and Brighton - Best of Fringe Award). He has been a guest director at Capa Wakefield, a puppeteer in Trigger Stuff’s The Hatchling, and a senior lecturer at Performer’s College Birmingham. He is also the regular stage director of Cabaret Cravache Berlin. He is based between Berlin and England. He previously held the position of Choreographer and Director of Studio at the Berlin Opera Academy and he trained at LISPA, the University of Kent, and Rose Bruford College London.

His directing is research-led. At East 15, University of Essex, he is currently conducting a AHRC CHASE Award-funded PhD, investigating the performer's face as a compositional and ethical instrument in an age when the human face is datafied and algorithmically reproduced at scale. The central framework, which he calls the Face Process, develops tools for calibrating what the face transmits in live performance and for understanding why that transmission resists digital substitution across different theatrical mediums.
