I have worked as a facilitator in school and community settings over the past seven years, co-creating meaningful artistic interventions with participants, interrogating injustices and imagining otherwise. I understand facilitation as a means of skill/power-sharing; a way of blending arts and social action.
What do I bring as a facilitator ?
- Trauma-informed and resiliency-focussed techniques
- Safety, trust and group care
- Creativity and play
- Devising and co-creation
- Reflection and meaning making
Current Partnerships
- I am currently a lead facilitator with The Old Vic (community and education projects)
- I am a Living Proof Youth Voice Lead on the Mayor of London’s Difference Matters project – supporting mainstream schools to become more neuroinclusive
- I am a Creative Ireland Training Partner with Living Proof, upskilling arts facilitators across Ireland.
- I am lead artist facilitator on Ár Shlí: Irish identity across generations, a storytelling collaboration with The London Irish Centre and The Derry Playhouse
I am interested in workshop facilitation opportunities.
Feel free to contact me about yours.
