Testimonials for my work as a producer, mentor, grant writer and creative facilitator:
“Shae has been a brilliant clown tutor for our students – grounding them, instilling confidence and letting them lean into their comic selves with imagination and courage. Shae has always been one of our most popular tutors and brings a wealth of diverse experience, good humour and humanity to her approach. She’s such an inspiration and a pleasure to have around – we’re lucky to have her!”
Joe Spurgeon, Programme Leader, Bristol School of Acting
“Shae’s help with my application was integral not only to successfully receiving the DYCP grant, but also to structuring how best I could use it & the time. She really helped me work out what I wanted to achieve & work on. Also she is a total delight to work with & a great support. Couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking to apply for the DYCP.”
Oliver de Rohan, Performer & Theatre Maker
“Shae gave great feedback and insight during my DYCP application. Her advice and guidance helped me write a much clearer, bolder application. Her manner was supportive and positive. Without Shae’s notes I am not sure I would have been successful in my funding application, so, with that in mind, I’d say her support was a game changer. I would highly recommend her to any other freelancer seeking funding support.”
Hal Chambers, Director
“Shae was an incredible mentor whose insight helped me to shape my DYCP journey and begin building my own R&D process. Shae is supportive and imaginative and a great addition to any team.”
