About

I am a cultural producer and programmer based in Caithness in the Scottish Highlands. I am interested in participatory and celebratory work that promotes place and explores the role of arts and creative practitioners in community development. I have a socially engaged producing practice, and am particularly interested in 'rural' creativity.

​

I am Co-Director of Lyth Arts Centre, the UK's most northerly mainland arts centre. I also work with Lewis Normand as Producer and have recently completed an MA (Distinction) in Art and Social Practice at UHI. 

​

Recently I have worked with Company of Wolves as their Associate Producer, with Dance North, as their Regional Artist Support Co-Ordinator, with Tolu Agbelusi, as Tour Producer of 'Ilé La Wà (We Are Home)' and as Producer of 'Mina' by Nataly Lebouleux & Improbable Dolls. 

 

I have previously worked with companies and artists like Highland Youth Arts Hub, National Trust for Scotland,  ArtReach, Mark Titchner, The Lowry, Pat the Dog Theatre Creation (Canada),  Action Transport Theatre, Waterside Arts Centre, The Bare Project and Creative Industries Trafford. I founded The Producers’ Network North West and Flow Salford Festival and have project managed the delivery of several UK and international theatre tours. Please have a look at my portfolio for some examples of my work. 

​

I am on the board of The Barn and Wick Development Trust.
