As a member of the senior management team, I lead the programming department at Lighthouse - Poole's Centre for the Arts, overseeing a broad and diverse artistic programme across a number of spaces within the facility. Lighthouse is one of the UK's largest regional arts centres consisting of a Concert Hall, Theatre, Studio, Cinema, and Art Gallery. Function Rooms are also available for external hire. Lighthouse's artistic output encompasses concerts and stand-up comedy, mid-scale touring theatre, and studio-scale work - some of which is the result of support from Lighthouse in its R&D stage. There is also a film and visual art programme too.Lighthouse hosts the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra within its walls as a resident orchestra and likewise, prides itself on supporting local artists develop their craft and create work where it's able to do so.In addition to the received programme, I oversee Lighthouse's progressive creative engagement strategy featuring learning & participation and artist development strands.

Venue Cymru is the largest arts and conference complex in Wales outside of Cardiff, housing both a 1,500 seat theatre and a concert arena with a standing capacity of 2,500. I was responsible for planning and managing the artistic programme at Venue Cymru, a role which required me to work on several diverse projects simultaneously, negotiating competitive deals with visiting promoters and producers and overseeing visiting shows from conception to fruition. To do this productively, I use the Artifax booking software. The breadth of the programme is vast in order to cater for the maximum number of people, with the focus being on artistic quality as opposed to quantity. Through aiming to remain as accessible as possible for patrons, my target is to ensure growth in audience numbers by implementing a strong and varied programme of work throughout the year.It is vital to maintain strong relationships with promoters and producers and make sure that all contractual correspondence is completed satisfactorily. I must also undertake my role while working within the financial parameters set by the General Manager.

On behalf of Playful, I liaised with external parties such as marketing and PR companies, talent agencies and other producers. Often, I was the first point of contact for visitors to the office and also for those calling in on the phone. I undertook research on a general basis for the Producers and also more specifically in terms of travel and accommodation for touring productions. I took the minutes accurately for the weekly internal company meetings, distributing them promptly, and booked and set up the meeting rooms for various meetings as per the requests of those involved regarding refreshments and IT needs. I made sure that the office was kept presentable at all times and monitor supplies for both the kitchen and office stationery.
