CREATIVE CONSULTATION

For artists and organisations developing projects, preparing for funding, and delivering impactful work.

I offer creative consultancy for artists, freelancers, and small organisations working across theatre, community, participatory, and socially engaged work.

With over 15 years’ experience across projects of different scales, I support ideas from early concept through to delivery.

CREATIVE SUPPORT

  • I support ideas from early concept through to delivery.

    My services include:

    • Concept and project development

    • Strategic planning

    • Audience and community engagement

    • Project planning and delivery

    • Feedback on funding applications and support materials

  • I work at the intersection of creative thinking and practical strategy, helping you shape ideas into projects that are both ambitious and achievable.

    We start with a free introductory call to understand your needs and context.

    From there, sessions are tailored to your project — offering focused, practical support that responds to both the creative vision and real-world constraints such as scale, budget, and resources.

  • My work is grounded in over 15 years of hands-on experience as a freelance artistic leader across a range of creative projects.

    I am currently Director Fellow at the National Theatre of Scotland, where I advocate for freelancers and stronger relationships between independent artists and institutions.

    I also bring governance and leadership experience from my time as a board member at the Young Vic Theatre.

    I bring a focused range of experience in:

    • Interdisciplinary and cross-artform projects

    • Work centred on access, inclusion, and social justice

    • Collaborations with displaced communities, disabled and neurodivergent practitioners, and trans-led work

    • Extensive experience working with global majority artists and communities

  • This is for artists, freelancers, and small organisations developing or delivering projects who want clarity, structure, or strategic input.

    You might be:

    • Starting with an idea and unsure how to shape it.

    • Have an idea and want creative expertise.

    • Preparing a funding application or proposal

    • Developing strategy and planning after receiving funding

    • Strengthening the impact, care, or delivery of your work

    • Revisiting a project and refining it after feedback or rejection

  • If you’d like to explore working together, you can book a free introductory call to discuss your project and how I can support your work. You can add more detail about your project and what you need in the booking form.
