• Enrichment Producer

  • Jun 2009 - Aug 2014

  At Punchdrunk I learned not just how to tell a story but to live it. For five years I was half of a 2-man team building our enrichment programme: creating experiences for and with people who wouldn't normally be able to access theatre and the arts. As a creative producer, my projects were far too many to mention but include: Under the Eiderdown. Our first literacy project in which a magical bric-a-brac shop visits a primary school. The shop is full of objects, and every object tells a story. All you need is the imagination of a storyteller to unlock it. Beneath the Streets. A co-production with HIJINX, a secret journey through the vaults underneath a Victorian shopping arcade. The Lost Lending Library. The Lost Lending Library is enormous, hundreds of floors high and full of millions of books. It leaps from place to place to seek out new stories and the most creative storytellers. The Uncommercial Traveller. A co-production with Arcola Theatre’s over 60s theatre group, as a Dickensian soup kitchen comes to life in modern day Hackney. The Uncommercial Traveller went on as a collaboration with the British Council as The Uncommercial Traveller: Living Cities, in Australia, South Africa, Pakistan & Singapore. During my time with the company I also worked on Punchdrunk's main productions, and managed Punchdrunk's workshop and internship programmes. Show less
