Workshop Facilitator

Sep 2017 - Apr 2018
Starting as a Duty Manager at the Omnibus, I worked my way through different supervisor roles within the operations team. As I wanted to gain workshop experience, I applied to facilitate alongside the Omnibus' Creative Learning programme with local South London schools. The workshops were an excellent opportunity for me to develop scripts written by class groups, workshop those scripts in a rehearsal environment and develop pieces into performances given by professional actors.
