Work with organisations
I am passionate about working with arts and culture organisations to increase their impact and to nurture creativity at all levels. I am fascinated by the conditions in which artistic work is created and presented, and this often forms a part of my work.
Areas of experience include: experimental and traditional music; sound art and installation; programme design; production; coaching and leadership; audience engagement; the refugee and migrant sector; diversity and inclusion.
