Recently appointed as Programme Director of MarketPlace, an Arts Council England Creative People and Places project in Fenland & Forest Heath. Working with the MarketPlace team and our wider community to develop and co-create powerful cultural and creative opportunities across this extraordinary part of the country.I joined Boundless Theatre, (an Arts Council England NPO and charity, founded in 2001) in July 2016 as Artistic Director and CEO . I led the organisation through a relaunch including full rebrand (working with Spy Studio and an Advisory Group of young adults) which included a radical new audience and talent development strategy and a focus on 15-25 year olds. I secured Creative Europe funding for Extended Universe, a transmedia audience development project with theatres in Copenhagen, Barcelona and Athens and directed 4 productions (Natives, 2017, Confidence 2018, Radio Elusia 2020 and Addictive Beat, 2022). As CEO I was responsible for the strategic and creative direction of Boundless, alongside fundraising and financial management and management of a diverse team. Before this I was Associate Dramaturg at the Bush Theatre in London where for three and a half years I ran the Literary Department and was responsible for all playwriting work including the commissioning and development of new plays for production. I established ongoing partnerships with Playwrights of New York (PoNY), delivered projects with Kudos Film & Television and established a partnership with Drama Centre London and Oberon Books on the Student Guide To Writing: Playwriting.
