Describe your work in one sentence:
Teacher. Director. Producer. Maker. Educator. Many hats!
Why do you do it?
Because I needed someone like me when I was younger. I see the impact that my productions have, and inspiring new makers (particularly from under-represented communities) makes my job worthwhile.
What keeps you going (what’s your GRIT)?
Knowing that what I'm doing has a long-term impact on the culture sector.
What advice would you give to somebody wanting to become a ‘creative’?
Start networking, like right now. Message, email, send a pigeon if you have to! It takes a village to survive in the arts & culture sector. The more people you can share the experience with, the easier it is.
Tell us something unusual about yourself.
I'm Co-Artistic Director of Divided Culture Co. A theatre company in Salford, working to reduce barriers to the arts! We've been going for nearly five years.
