Kolbrún has directed for various short format theatre readings and new writing development nights. She enjoys being in the throws of new writing, discovering it with a cast and being able to feed back to the playwrights. She has a special relationship with the Tandem Theatre Collective, directing their Edinburgh events and likes to cultivate relationships with new playwrights as well as more established writers.
On Tandem: "Kolbrún Björt Sigfúsdóttir’s direction ties everything neatly together. [...] as a vehicle for developing their playwriting abilities, the night is certainly a successful one – not to mention a thoroughly entertaining diversion for all of the audience. Here’s looking forward to the Tandem’s next venture! **** The Wee Review
