 Regional Theatre Young Directors Scheme
Talking Birds Theatre Three month Placement

Over the last few years I have been supported by and experienced the work of directors who have been on Regional Theatre Young Director Scheme placements. I had been writing, producing and  directing my own work, having a small child and then having to include access provision in my applications felt that there were a lot of barriers restricting my development.

I contacted the RTYDS office at The Exchange Theatre and explained my situation.
Next I was speaking to the team at Talking Birds about their work, how my skills within access for blind and visually impaired audiences could be beneficial for them   and how they would be able to support me providing opportunities to focus on my role as a director and gain a deeper understanding of how an NPO (National Portfolio Organisation) is run.

I started in June 2019, Talking Birds are a company who works to school hours which helps as my little one is in nursery and I am not only working on their projects but being provided with training to create new work for the company.
