As a producer, I work to instigate, devise and deliver a range of arts events across the UK and internationally. This involves strategy, project management, fundraising, tour planning, marketing and mentoring.http://www.tomspencertheatre.com/TERRESTRIAL​I am currently working with a group of associated artists, creatives, producers and curators to explore new ways to support the birth and growth of artistic ideas across the region of Avon (North Somerset, Bristol, South Gloucestershire and Bath & North East Somerset). Between the group, we carry experience of producing small and large-scale theatre productions, music events, installations, permanent sculptures, regeneration projects and cross-city festivals. Terrestrial is the working title of the work we are undertaking together, and is currently in an early research phase. We hope to share our findings later in 2017.

Verity Standen is a Bristol-based composer, performer and musical director. Her work explores the human voice and how it can be celebrated and transformed through live performance. I produce all of Verity's work, which includes research and development, fundraising, tour booking and company management. To date, this has included the development and UK touring of the a cappella trio piece Mmm Hmmm (which has played everywhere from the National Theatre's Riverstage to village halls in the Outer Hebrides), the creation of Symphony, and the ongoing management of Verity's immersive choral piece HUG. After winning the Off West End TBC Award, and thanks to inclusion in the British Council Edinburgh Showcase 2015, HUG began international touring in 2016 - we formed new choirs to perform the piece in Poland, China and the Czech Republic.veritystanden.com

As an artist, I can usually be found with FINE CHISEL - the theatre company and folk band I founded in 2010.With Fine Chisel, I've won a Fringe First, a Three Weeks Editors' Award and the MTN Award for Innovation. I direct and produce all of the company's shows (and sometimes perform too). We've toured to theatres and arts centres across the UK, but more often you'll find us playing in pubs, village halls, schools and festivals, or out on the streets busking.finechisel.co.uk
