Past Work
Here are some projects I worked on between 2015 and 2018.
Choreographer and Writer Labs
In 2018 I worked with Jen Malarkey (Encounter Productions) to deliver a process-focused lab for dance makers and writers who were interested in collaboration, in partnership with The Place and The Royal Court. We are now evaluating the project and looking into the potential for future labs.
Artist Mentoring and Coaching
I have worked with a number of artists and individuals working in the arts as a coach, mentor, advisor, sounding board and critical friend.
Dance4
Between Summer 2017 and March 2018 I was Associate Director of Dance4 in Nottingham. During that time I provided ongoing support around artist development and international strategies, the development of the Nottdance festival, and provided additional artistic leadership support to the organisation as a whole.
During the summer of 2017 I worked as Interim Administrative Director, Theatre and Artist Development at The Place, providing some oversight, planning and management support during a period of staffing change.
The Place
Between May 2016 and July 2017 I was Associate Director at Greenwich Dance covering the organisation’s artistic leadership during Artistic Director Kat Bridge’s maternity leave.
Greenwich Dance
Yorkshire Dance
In 2015 I spent six months as Interim Artistic Director of Yorkshire Dance, covering Wieke Eringa’s adoption leave.
National Dance Network
In late 2015/early 2016 I completed a consultation project for the National Dance Network, talking to artists, programmers, producers and others around existing and future models of national and international showcasing for UK dance. This work informed the development of a showcasing strategy for dance in the UK.
Artists curating dance
This is a project I developed with Yorkshire Dance, funded by Jerwood Charitable Foundation. It brought together 6 artists with some experience of curation, to provide a framework of funds and peer support for them to realise curatorial concerns in an event or festival. The project culminated in several events across 2017.
