Live @ The RSC

From 2019 - 2024 I led on the production of all Live @ The RSC music, comedy and spoken word events across all three Stratford-upon-Avon venues. Events during this time ranged from working with local artists and open mic performers on a regular programme offer, to collaborating with national and international partners on festival activity (e.g. internationally renowned comedy producers Underbelly and local partner Orchestra of the Swan on the production of Live @ The RSC Festival 2023).

These events centred on audience development alongside income generation, promising regional engagement with a range of creative performance in each unique, culturally significant venue.

In 2023 I led a piece of research and development in consultation with a range of local and regional artists and creative organisations, interrogating the programme itself in a critical friends capacity. Findings from this piece of work inspired, in part, the RSC's Open Theatre programme in 2024, existing as a report for the organisation to respond to and develop over time.
