Barra studied Theatre at Goldsmiths and Trinity College Dublin. Barra began his career working in a mixture of creative and management roles at Battersea Arts Centre, Old Vic Tunnels, Manchester International Festival, Punchdrunk and the English National Opera. This varied experience fuels his collaborative approach to theatre making and led him to start LAStheatre.
