EVENT PRODUCTION & MANAGEMENT
IDEA FESTIVALS
I worked for five years in a festival production role for FutureEverything, an innovative festival exploring new ideas for the future. It utilised the "festival as a laboratory" model combining a range of live events, including art, music, and discussions, with new technology and playful social experiments. As a part of the production team, I contributed to various aspects of the festival, from conference, exhibition, and music event production, artist liaison, logistics, partnership development and marketing support. I worked with the festival team for events and projects across Manchester, Newcastle, Singapore and Moscow.
MUSIC EVENTS
I spent four years managing The Ruby Lounge, a music venue in Manchester, where I handled all aspects of venue management and artist liaison. My portfolio of music events includes involvement in FutureEverything, Sounds From The Other City, Parklife, VIP Nation, In the City, Kendal Calling, and SWAP Festival.
Science & Education
I have had the pleasure of working on numerous iterations of Manchester Science Festival, an annual city-wide event celebrating science through talks, exhibitions, performances, and showcases. My various roles have included Contemporary Science Programme Coordinator, Event Manager, and producer for events such Robot Playground, VR Playground, Power Playground, Pi Platform for Investigation, the Nobel Prize Disco and Power Late’s
Other Arts & Culture
In addition to the above roles, I have worked on numerous other events and festivals, such as The New Death for Leeds International Festival, theatre and talk events for Bradford Literature Festival, showcases and talk programmes for The Great Exhibition of the North and assisting with installation for Liverpool Biennial and Punchdrunk.
