Creative Partnerships

I work as a Creative Agent for schools in West Yorkshire for Cape  at present. This work involves acting as an advisor and supporter for creative projects in both primary and secondary schools. This year I am working with

Bradshaw Primary School - Sculpture Project with Artist Mick Kirkby Geddes

LInthwaite Clought Primary School - Ceramics and Film project with ceramicist Karen Howarth and fimmaker Beverley Addy

St Mary’s Primary School - Drama and writing project with theatre specialist Ric Furgeson from Proper Job theatre company.

The role includes enabling the schools to put together project plans, build relationships with their creative artists and explore what creativity means for pupils and staff in their schools.

I have also presented a paper at a Cape UK conference in 2009 at The Media Centre in Bradford, that presented NAWE’s three year project exploring the benefits of writers in schools.
