About me
I've been working for organisations who produce theatre for children and young people for the last 8 years. I now manage the Starcatchers project which specialises in the development of performances for babies and toddlers in Scotland - originally a pilot project at North Edinburgh Arts Centre, we are now a part of Imaginate and we're working in partnership with four arts venues in Scotland who are each hosting a Starcatchers Artist in Residence.

Starcatchers - February 2010

I manage the Starcatchers project which began back in 2006 as a NESTA funded pilot based at North Edinburgh Arts Centre. Since then, the Artists who have worked on the project have created four new performances for 0-3s and we have produced an action research report outlining our process and development. All of this has contributed to the development of work for the very young in Scotland.



In 2008 Starcatchers became a part of Imaginate and we secured new funding for a new two year… Continue

MANIFESTOS (or, Tell Us What You Really Think)

There's a venerable tradition of artists' manifestos, which always seem to pop up especially at times of great cultural and political change (post WW1 dadaists; them 60s experimenters...) so, given that we are living through times of extraordinary change right now, I thought I'd start a thread for MANIFESTOS RELATING TO MAKING ART FOR CHILDREN.Don't have one?  Nor did I until 24 hours ago, then I decided I'd write one.So get going, and it'd be grand to see them here...See More

On encouraging young audiences (or their parents) to take risks

http://www.itstheforest.comWhy should parents bring their children to see something like my company's dance piece 'The Forest'?When it’s half term and I scan the pages of the ‘what’s on for children’ sections of magazines I want to know that the experiences I choose for my children will be, to be honest, worth the effort, that they will enjoy it, that they will be enriched in some way, in any way, by what they’ve seen.I want to take them…See More
