- What I do:
- Artistic Director, National Theatre Wales
- A little more about me:
- I have worked in the performing arts for many years as a Theatre maker, Artistic Director and Arts Consultant. My early career was largely in new writing with national touring companies like Red Ladder Theatre Company and Major Road, both based in Yorkshire.
I've since led a number of organisations and companies including being Artistic Director of Contact Theatre, Manchester, Leicester Haymarket Theatre, Theatre Writing Partnership and Red Ladder Theatre Company; commissioning, producing and directing work nationally and internationally. I've created a diverse range of work that spans communities, cultures and performance styles; directed large-scale epics, new plays and made work in non-theatre spaces.
Prior to joining National Theatre Wales in May 2016, I was the founding Director of Cast – a new £22 million performance venue that is the cultural living room for the town; a place for performance, participation and provocation.

Some Thoughts and Reflections / Ychydig o feddyliau a myfyrdodau
To lead any theatre company is a huge privilege. To lead a national company like National Theatre Wales (NTW), which endeavours to reflect the aspirations and desires of its diverse peoples, is to take on a privilege that comes with added challenges and expectations. I certainly take my responsibilities as Artistic Director of NTW very seriously, not least because someone like me - a working class woman of colour - doesn’t get these opportunities very readily or very often. Some might say…
