I am an independent cultural consultant/adviser with senior executive level experience across performing arts, film, digital media arts, festivals and heritage sectors. I provide practical support to cultural leaders, boards, local authorities and policymakers to enable artists and arts organisations to thrive.

I first worked with Alan more than 30 years ago and was fortunate to be part of an ensemble he created at Northern Stage in Newcastle. I love the work that the Performance Ensemble are making, it’s some of the most exciting, moving and beautiful theatre I have ever seen and I’m very proud to be a board member and to help support the work in any way I can.
