Producing Practice
My process as a Producer involves developing a baseline of shared values and goals for each project. In turn, these values shape the development process and aid in guiding future decision making.
Through my role I invest not only in the project, but also in the practitioners, the audience and the wider community. I encourage long-term thinking around the future development of work and the personal development of artists and practitioners. I am committed to meaningful audience engagement; enabling new and relevant audiences to access work.
I feel passionately about supporting and nurturing the arts scene across Scotland.
