The British Juggling Convention

• Producer

  • Jan 2022 - Present

  In April I produced the Open Stage show at The British Juggling Convention, a large-scale multi-day event with over 600 attendees. I worked closely with artists, stage managers and venue teams prior to, and during the event to create a cohesive show attended by over 400 people. This project ranged from liaising with multiple teams and acts to organising production meetings, technical rehearsals and distributing relevant documentation. Watching the show from the corner of the big top, seeing the months of work come to fruition was an incredible experience, affirming my decision to pursue a career in producing. As such, I have agreed to return to the role as producer for the Open Show in 2023, and have already begun preliminary work in preparing for the event later this year. Show less
