From 2016 to 2021, I served as an Associate for Headlong Theatre, where I created and led the Headlong Futures project—a two-year initiative focused on building connections across communities in England. Collaborating with local theatres Bristol Old Vic, New Perspectives, Theatre Royal Plymouth, and Brewery Arts Centre, we set out to explore the unique stories and experiences within each community, highlighting both shared challenges and distinct perspectives.

Headlong Futures culminated in Acts of Resistance, a play crafted by award-winning writer Stef Smith, performed by a community cast at the Bristol Old Vic. This large-scale show synthesised the stories gathered from our partner communities, offering a nuanced look at the social issues affecting people across generations and backgrounds.

This project represents my dedication to using theatre as a platform for diverse voices, creating opportunities for dialogue, and connecting communities through shared narratives.
