Royal Exchange Theatre (September 2009 – August 2015)
Songlines was a music, drama and visual arts programme for young people with Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) and their peers, delivered by the Royal Exchange Theatre and Manchester Camerata, which provided a programme of accessible and varied activities in a supportive and friendly environment. I managed the project for the Royal Exchange, working with artists, volunteers, parents and external evaluators to help relieve the social isolation, low self-confidence and disaffection often experienced by children and young people with ASC.
