About me

I am a theatre producer and project manager specialising in national and international co-productions of multimedia performances, new writings, theatre for young audiences, dance and disability arts. I am based in Scotland but can cover work locally, UK-wide and internationally. I have developed extensive touring, financial, grant reporting, audience development, PR and evaluation experience on multiple projects. I am interested in producing work that is strongly inspired by people’s lived experiences, portrays diversity, fosters inclusion and social change.

Although I have been focusing on freelance theatre producing for independent artists in recent years, I have also collaborated as producer/project or general manager with more established festivals, theatre and immersive arts companies, including Edinburgh International Magic Festival, Edinburgh Lyceum Theatre, Chronicle Theatre, Blueprint Arts and Cutting Edge Theatre. I have also worked extensively as a development coordinator and have been on the jury of international playwriting contests Mario Fratti Award and Carlo Annoni Playwriting Prize.
