ABOUT
Welcome to Simon’s website where you can find out more about him through the activities he’s done that don’t really fit anywhere else on this website.
Without further ado, he is a UK-based creative and practical maker in the arts, currently
Artistic Director of Paper Breadcrumbs production company and a freelancer across
a variety of artistic and technical endeavours.
Former roles include: Executive Producer and Co-Founder of The Cock Tavern Theatre - a melting-pot for creativity that led the way in its time in redefining the possibilities of fringe theatre and the cauldron for early career development for many leading lights in the creative industries today; Chair of The Board of Trustees for Stone Crabs Theatre Company; General Manager at The Playground Theatre; Producer for Good Night Out Presents; Artistic Director for The Ant Theatre Company.
He was a freelance creative consultant for Oval House theatre in its days at the Oval, for whom he undertook a complete organisational review of the company, its structure, vision, aims and objectives. He has done many organisational reviews for small and medium sized charities and not-for-profit organisations.
He worked at the Donmar Warehouse during the tenure of Artistic Director Sam Mendes on outreach and development projects. In his early career, whilst studying, he began in the arts in a production placement at Aditi, the National Agency for South Asian Dance.
In his non-theatre endeavours, he has worked on many major projects (as fundraiser, marketer, project leader and other roles) that guide and influence his knowledge and skill-set in the creative industries today, Some of more creative projects from these days include:
- A global campaign led by the UK office for the UN Refugee Agency to raise awareness of refugee issues, which included developing film and audio content for the campaign, with broadcaster, Python and global traveller, Michael Palin
- For Your Eyes Only - The Ian Fleming and James Bond Exhibition - working closely with the project team, the Fleming family, Penguin publications and associated exhibition brands
- The first phase of The Earth Galleries at The Natural History Museum, raising more than £2m from corporate partners and sponsors.
- The Big Knit Innocent Drinks/Age Concern national campaign raising awareness and funds for the elderly, successfully winning major national awards for The Big Knit from Business in The Community, ABSA Business Awards and others, and breaking all previous income targets for the campaign.
He has a passion for connecting people together and thinking outside the box to join different ideas, thoughts and activities together through his work in the arts.
