​

Born & bred Brummie, occasionally cheating on the Midlands with the North. I’m a working-class theatre producer, gig goer, pint drinker, football watcher, coffee fiend who was born and bred on a council estate in North Birmingham before spending years living across Lincoln, Leicester and Sheffield. I have experience as a Project Manager, Producer, Fundraiser and Coordinator across a number of different sectors and environments. I’m a highly motivated, skilled, experienced and ambitious producer dedicated to working in and championing regional theatre, implementing a culture of welcome. I am passionate and adaptable in my approach to deliver outstanding results individually, as a team and as a business.

 

The theatre that I love to be a part of is work that is raw, relevant and packs a punch. I'm a massive fan of telling untold stories and I'm an even bigger fan of bringing people together to have a brilliant experience. Theatre should and can be for everyone and about everyone and I think every aspect of our sector should reflect that. 

 

I work with some artists and organisations on an on-going basis and others on a project by project one. Every artist is different and therefore, every project you work on is gonna need a differing plan of attack (I like to think i'm good at quickly switching from a 442 to a 451 when needed). One thing that is crucial to me is that the process is just as important as the final product. We want a bangin’ show but what’s the point if the team doesn’t have a good time whilst making it? The rehearsal room should be a safe space for graft, laffs & collaboration. You can count on me to be your project's number one cheerleader.

 

You can see some of the things I've done and worked on over on my projects page here. These range from co-founding an award winning theatre company out of university to building a fundraising strategy within a National Portfolio Organisation. 

 

I am currently the Producer at The Belgrade Theatre and am a fellow of the Weston Jerwood Creative Bursaries; a programme that addresses the socio-economic barriers that graduates from working class backgrounds face in the arts.

If you fancy collaborating or you're sat there thinking about my shoddy football analogies, drop me an email or find me on social media.
