CV / PROJECTS

Together with the Lead Artist, my aim and responsibilities are to ensure the artistic quality, smooth running and efficacy of the Older Adults’ Programme.  This includes continuing the existing programme of weekly participatory workshops, one off events, sharings, trips and seeking opportunities for development which reflect members and sector feedback.

Previously I worked with Barrel Organ, a theatre company who are based in the North East of England as assistant producer. I worked across three projects for young people and the community to gain better access to the arts outside of London. We specifically worked with young people who feel their voices are not heard and are NEET. Working for this company has been so rewarding and to get a better idea of how the arts and theatre companies are working regionally. 

Assisting the production team at Clean Break on their production of Through

The Mist.

Working directly  with the Director of Participation to set up this programme of work, and to take the lead on producing all projects relating to schools. I am currently working directly with SEND schools in Islington to plan a work experience plan for their students and I am currently revamping their schools programme for secondary and primary students. I also curate all the digital resources for teachers and students.

I worked as assistant producer on Kestrel Theatre's R&D of YOUNGERS, a project exploring the ideas around age, hierarchy, mentors and respect. This was a devised piece by an intergenerational cast, 3 young men aged between 18-22 with experience of the youth justice system, and 3 older men who are out the other side of the adult justice system. I thoroughly enjoyed being brought on as producer for this piece working directly in the rehearsal room with the rest of the creative team, helping to bring this sharing to life. This was a brilliant insight to the work they make and telling why their work is so important; and I am excited to see the next steps of this piece.

FTC supporting the Education and Community team on all the projects, in particular the Schools Club programme, training facilitators, workshop planning and observing in schools offering creative administrative and creative support. I continue to work for the team on a freelance basis; most recently assisting on the planning of Front Line Lambeth.
