Creative Connector & Project Manager - Libraries Unlimited
May 2017 - March 2018
My role was to lead an outreach programme of events focussing on North Devon & Torridge that seeks to reach and engage people who don't currently use the library service and to interrogate the kinds of services the library is offering.
Alongside this, I was contracted to initiate new ways of working that embed creative approaches within the staff team helping them to build relationships with cultural organisations and independent artists, to offer training and guidance in order to raise the artistic quality of events and programming throughout the library service.
Unlimited Potential was supported through the Arts Council England Libraries Open to Everyone Innovation Fund.

Between October 2018 and April 2019 I worked with Katie Villa and Laura Mugridge to producer a Spring tour of WILD and it’s companion participatory project Stitch.
Wild is new bold piece of theatre about how we might be using the wrong language when we talk about birth. Wild is part riot, part disco, part rite of passage. Expect comedy, music, loudness, bold talking and glitter.

Producer - Lights! Planets! People!/Molly Naylor
I am worked with Molly Naylor between December and April 2019 to produce the tour of her latest work Lights! Planets! People!
Renowned space scientist Maggie Hill recently launched a career-defining mission to find habitable planets. It didn't go well. Shortly afterwards, her girlfriend stopped speaking to her. She's going to have to address both of these catastrophes. Maggie is giving a lecture about her career, to inspire young women to work in science. She's also attending her first therapy session, in which she's at pains to state how her bipolar disorder isn't relevant to the conversation. The spaces overlap as we begin to build a picture of Maggie's greatest achievements and biggest regrets.
LIGHTS! PLANETS! PEOPLE! is an intimate and exhilarating story about communication, both interpersonal and intergalactic.

Producer - The North! The North!
June 2017 - September 2017
Created and performed by Chris Harrisson.
The North! The North!
The North! The North! is a surreal noir with physical storytelling and projected animation. It's a story about trauma and myth-making, with sweat and violence and lots of dancing. It begins with a phone call, outside a club at 3am. A young man seeks vengeance and his quest will lead him back to where it all began: the dark and bloody heart of the North.
