On joining the board:
I'm thrilled to be continuing in my role as Participant Observer on the Brighton Fringe Board for a second term. It's a joy to be involved in something I love so much and an honour to represent participants. I look forward to being on this journey together for another year and I can't wait to see what it brings!
It’s an honour, a privilege, and a joy to be a member of the board of Brighton Fringe. The Fringe represents a unique, eclectic, and ground-breaking community of artists, creatives, and facilitators, and its role in the arts sector is essential and one-of-a-kind. In such a time of flux, I hope that I can help Brighton Fringe in gathering and galvanising its community so that we can work together in a sustainable way, as part of an ecosystem where we all support each other and thrive.
How do you hope to impact Brighton Fringe going forward:
“As someone who cares about it very much, it’s an exciting prospect to be invited to stand alongside the rest of the board and team to be part of building a better future for Brighton Fringe. I believe that Brighton Fringe participants deserve ethical treatment, transparency, accessibility, and to be protected and heard. I know that I share those beliefs with the Brighton Fringe board, and I relish the opportunity to play a role in representing participants and working together to uphold those values. Participants bring life and colour to the Fringe – we are its beating heart, and I can’t wait to see the results of us having a seat at the table”.
