Mimbre

Education Project Manager

BRIEF:

Mimbre is an National Portfolio Organisation specialising in acrobatics. Mimbre had established an Youth Company and some outreach programmes and were looking to take this to a 'next level'. My brief was to work establish 'The Step-Up' group and widen Mimbres profile as an arts organisation with a strong and innovative educational offer.

PUTTING IT INTO ACTION

  • From 2011-12 we developed the 'Step-Up' Group from the feeder youth groups
  • Secured funding to commission a new performance by the Step-Up Group and support further training
  • Produced the Origin:London tour as part of the cultural olympic offer.
  • Delivered several community days and performance sharings
  • Extended the team to include a Youth Coordinator
  • Reported and evaluated to multiple funders.
  • Developed strategic organisational links with Roundhouse, Circus Space and Sadlers Wells.
  • Line managed a team of freelance dance and circus teachers.
