Theatre Arts Professional
and Arts Council England (ACE) application writer
specialising in Access Support work.

Helping artists navigate the funding process.

Since 2020, I’ve helped over 50 artists and companies develop funding applications

I draw on 17 years of experience as a Senior Lecturer teaching theatre arts at the
University of Brighton, helping artists articulate their ideas in writing.

My approach is also informed by 20+ years of experience as a funded theatre maker.

When I’m not helping with applications or performing shows, I’m often making puppets.
