I am a theatre director, teacher and actor and throughout my career have had the opportunity to work consistently across these disciplines. Founding Arc with Clifford Oliver created a vehicle in which to experiment and develop our creative, artistic and educational work. Our notable successes including Fallen by Polly Teale and Kicking-Out ( Part of the Football Trilogy) by Clifford Oliver put us on the map, Leading Arc as its CEO offers the opportunity to foster and use the creative imaginations of our teams and partners to make exciting new theatre and drama work. I like to tread the line between "theatre as we know it" and how it is used as a direct and powerful social and political intervention. We have recently moved to our new studio spaces at the Malthouse, Barking and this gives us the freedom and opportunity to re-invent ourselves continually in making contemporary and relevant theatre.
