CoLab Creative Producer at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance

Education

I lead collaborative projects at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. I believe in unlocking and releasing the creative potential that is inherent in every human being. With years of experience as a composer, a violinist and a teacher and leader in the arts I am now running CoLab; part performance festival, part intensive study. In its third year CoLab has seen over 2000 people take part in 160 different projects from: Afrobeats Orchestra, a Motown orchestra, Dirty Electronics, song-writing and Byrd meets Cage (that’s William meets John) and a landmark performance of Terretektorh by Xennakis. I believe in enhancing the craft of young artists through collaborative imagination .
