Bio

​I am a Theatre/Events Producer and Freelance Musician, with a passion for all things arts and creative and a love of strategy and organisational development.

 

I am currently balancing working as Festival Producer for Lichfield Festival (an exciting 11-day Summer Multi-Arts Festival, Literature Festival, and Chamber Music Festival), alongside overseeing producing events and leading creative careers development programmes for young people across the West Midlands. I also co-run my own theatre company Work In Progress Theatre; a collective of early-career creatives with an aim to create new and exciting musical theatre with a message that captivate, inspires, challenges, and represents our audiences, encouraging them to find their own voice through the arts.

 

I have a strong desire to create new and exciting development opportunities for early-career creatives, and I am an advocate for establishing well-structured learning and participation provision which meets the needs of local communities and provides career development opportunities to those just getting started, along with sharing the impact of the arts with those who don't frequently engage with it. 

 

Through all my work I try to ensure that my work has a positive impact and that I am furthering at least one of four objectives:

- To create theatre which interests audiences and challenges them to take action about world issues.

- To provide opportunities for other young creatives to break into the industry.

- To bring the arts to members of communities who don’t otherwise have access to the arts.

- To create art in the most ethical, moral, and environmentally friendly way that I can.

 

Past projects and roles include Stage Management Intern for Bangor University's One World Gala and other concerts, Management Team for National Student Drama Festival, Young Consortium for the For/With/By Festival of European Youth Theatre, Producer for RicNic Burton, and Producer for the Underrated! Virtual Cabaret.
