TRAINING & FACILITATION

I use techniques embedded in performance and co-operative theatre making to help people gain confidence, work collaboratively, communicate their ideas and engage the public. I work with individuals and teams in a variety of sectors, from culture to hi-tech.

I’m currently working with visitor service teams in museums and heritage settings (SWIM, Britten Pears Foundation, Bedford Museums) to raise levels of confidence and find new ways to engage people in stories inspired by the collections.

I’m also working with SyncNorwich – a network of new hi-tech business – where performance skills can greatly enhance the communication of ideas and the effectiveness of pitching and presentation.

Auctioneering is also a love of mine – talk to me about how I can help you raise money for your local cause or charity.

The auction was such a successful event. You helped us raise an incredible amount. Thank you for everything – if we need an auctioneer again we will definitely be coming back to you!

Thank you so much for creating such a fantastic, engaging and inspirational training day for us. It met our brief perfectly and covered all aspects of visitor engagement in the museum. The volunteers took so much from the day – Thank you!

Simon was a very valuable member of the core team for our ‘Bring me Sunshine’ project. His workshops were finely tuned to quickly develop confidence and interpersonal skills – vital for street theatre practitioners.
