As Programming Associate - Dance, I programme over 25 companies a year for major Greater Manchester venue, including The Lyric (1,700 seats), The Quays (450 seats), The Aldridge Studio (150 seats), plus outdoors and digital platforms. The Lowry has one of the largest and most respected dance programmes in the UK.

As Creative Associate for Culture I devised and curated the first season of STORIES, weaving together stories of people, places, histories and future dreams to celebrate unique places and moments across the county.

I was jury member to select this year’s dance & theatre artists for the Made in Scotland Showcase at Edinburgh Fringe in August 2024.

I regularly mentor individuals or organisations as part of training programmes. Currently I mentor for the Salzburg Global Emerging Urban Leaders Programme, Launched in 2021, this initiative creates a network that includes architects, urban planners, community organisers, policymakers and conservationists, who are matched with mentors to develop innovative solutions and quality cities of the future.

Recently, I was mentor of the Festival Academy’s Atelier for Arts and Production Managers Elefsina / Beirut, with participants from Lebanon, Turkey, Greece, Jordan, Albania, Serbia, Palestine, Macedonia, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Morocco and Tunisia.

I regularly lead post-show talks, artists discussions and chair panels.
