Nottingham, working mainly across the Midlands, GB

Producing Practice

I am dedicated to alternative mediums, including puppetry, spoken word, physical storytelling and even digital performance, most recently working as Associate Producer for adult-focused puppetry company theOBJECTproject, touring their newly devised work to 9 regional venues (so far!).

I enjoy working with neurodivergent artists and those who struggle (or simply who do not enjoy - which is also fair!) the organisational and production aspects of creating work. I've supported projects from dyslexic writers to theatre-makers with adhd, and I am always open and willing to find whatever process or structure works best for my team and champion wellbeing and creativity hand in hand.

Collaboration Interests

I absolutely love being brought onto other people's projects to help tighten up all things organisational and logistics. If you have a creative concept brewing and are not sure what direction to take it, or have a project well underway which is in dire need of management and structure, please do get in touch.
I also relish the challenge of taking non-traditional, alternative mediums and bringing them to the masses, so if you have a dance&circus&puppetry&spoken word show which you are not quite sure where to pitch, let me help!
Really interested also in anything rural, regional and community-focused or engaged - everyone everywhere deserves access to high quality work.
