Introducing: Laura McGrath

Dear All,

We figured it was about time we formally introduced Laura McGrath, who will be working with us on a number of projects. Like us, Laura is a University of Kent graduate, who specialised in dramaturgy during her final year. As part of her studies, last autumn and spring, she observed and wrote about the preparation and delivery of i am small THE WORLD IS BIG (and did in fact lend more than a helping hand!). Building on the successes of this informal and initial relationship we thought that we'd ask if Laura wanted to work with us again. Thankfully she accepted! Laura will be taking a number of overlapping roles (from administration to community liaison) for the new version of i am small THE WORLD IS BIG which we are preparing for 2011 (thanks to substantial funding we have received from Kent Count Council's 'New Recipes Programme'). But don't think we are letting get off lightly... Later this month, on 25th and 26th, Laura will actually be performing alongside Rick and Daisy during pause; (Derby Festé 2010). We are also hoping that she will come on board as a dramaturg when we take everyONE's looking for someONE back into the studio this autumn. So, as you can imagine Laura is going to be one busy girl. But that's just how she likes it.


As you can see for yourselves, she is quite chirpy (and obviously has a thing for comfy, coloured jumpers and beautiful countryside). So, welcome to the team!

Could Laura change her name please? It's just too confusing for an old lady like myself ;-) CW
