Youth Education & Arts Consultant, Impetuous Kinship

Thurrock, Essex

For Impetuous Kinship, a community-facing theatre company, I run workshops, undertake research, and act as a consultant for local public and private theatre groups looking to develop themselves as an alternative to traditional drama school paths. This research has led to my running of a project based training scheme for those aged 18-35, providing free workshops with performing arts professionals to gain life skills through holding performances.

Community Arts Management Apprentice, Creative Blast

Grays, Essex

My responsibilities include working on all administration with a focus on outreach and community development. I have carried out projects for young volunteers aged 12-19 to help them gain access to work experience in the creative sector, I have also closely worked with a local elderly choir in establishing a small performance group to tour residential care homes for free to perform songs from the past to aid and reach out to other elderly people with dementia. I regularly engage with my local community at a Saturday performing arts academy where I teach children aged 3-5 about communication, imagination and performance.
