Personal Statement
What Is A Creative Producer?
We all interprete this a little differently. For me, it means that my work focuses on the nexus between artists, stakeholders and the public. My role is one that helps turn artistic ideas into reality. As ideas shape our reality and as our reality shapes our ideas this is a continuous creative process.
Background
I have over 20 years experience working in touring theatre and puppetry. Most recently, I was CEO at Puppet Place - UK Hub for Animation and Puppetry - and I am co-producer of Bristol Festival of Puppetry which I set up with Chris Pirie from Green Ginger.
