In Place of War
Access Support Worker
100 Creative Agents of Climate Change is a new art and activism project connecting change-makers from around the world with young people aged 18-30 to develop their skills, knowledge and capacity in building creative campaigns to mobilise communities in the fight against climate change.

I am the access consultant for the award winning neurodivergent writer and performer, Beth Westbrook. A finalist for Hope
Mill Theatre's ‘Through the Mill’ Prize 2021, Sunny Girl is the anti rain man, and aims to show a side of autism that is very
rarely seen on stage and screen. I am working alongside the lead artist, producer, director and the venue to embed access for the creative team and our audiences.

I have been rehired to continue as an access consultant on Sweet Dreams. "A new immersive storytelling experience from award-winning art collective Marshmallow Laser Feast – a visual feast for the senses". Premiering at Aviva Studios in July 2024.

Access Consultant
I am the access consultant for Elle Chante, an Unlimited UK Partner Award 2023 commissioned artist with The Glasshouse International Centre for Music.
