Producing Faculty

Based in: Birmingham, U.K.

I am an independent Creative Producer working across theatre, dance, live and outdoor arts, with a focus on developing bold, interdisciplinary projects that connect artists and audiences across borders. My practice centres on artist development, international collaboration, and touring work to diverse communities, with a commitment to equity and care. I have produced for leading UK organisations and festivals, including Soho Theatre, Battersea Arts Centre, Sadler’s Wells, Fierce Festival, Greenwich + Docklands International Festival, and Brixton House. Recent roles include Associate Producer for Oxford University’s Cultural Programme on Leys Festival 2025 and Producer for Birmingham Festival 2023, the one-year legacy of the Commonwealth Games.

Internationally, I am an alumnus of The Festival Academy (Atelier for Young Festival Managers, Kampala) and have facilitated cultural exchanges through programmes such as British Council Showcase, Proximamente Festival, Horizon Showcase (now Here and Now), the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia, and Artsadmin’s Lab X with Thai and UK-based artists. As a Jerwood Arts Live Work Fund recipient and Stage One bursary awardee, I have built a practice that champions underrepresented voices and experimental forms. Alongside project-based work, I lead Producer Gathering, a peer-support and skills exchange initiative for freelance producers.

I am committed to building sustainable networks for independent producers, sharing resources, and exploring new collective models of working. My goal is to deepen international connections, contribute to new models of exchange, and bring back learning that strengthens producer-led networks and more equitable futures for global performing arts.
