Description
Heidi Vaughan joins award-winning Bristol based theatre company Travelling Light with a wealth of experience making theatre with and for young people. Currently Artistic Director for Kazzum, her previous roles include Artistic Director at Dot and Ethel theatre company, Head of Learning at Oxford Playhouse, Director of Young People’s Theatre at The Point, Eastleigh and creative roles at the Egg, Nuffield Theatre Southampton, Tobacco Factory Theatres and Bristol Old Vic.
Heidi has been instrumental in creating an exciting, innovative and diverse landscape for family theatre in the UK, and will commence work with Travelling Light in June of this year.
Heidi says ‘I’m thrilled to be joining Travelling Light at such an exciting time for the company. TL are now the proud winners of the 2017 Offie Award for Best Production for Young People aged 0-7 and with tours to Shanghai and New York in the pipeline and our Barton Hill arts festival just around the corner, I’m excited to continue the company’s commitment to making dynamic theatrical experiences on a local, national and international level.’
As Travelling Light welcome Heidi in her new role they will also be saying goodbye to current Artistic Producer, Jude Merrill who is retiring after dedicating 30 years to the development and support of exceptional TYA work. Jude has already received an MBE for her services to children and young people’s theatre and this year is nominated for the prestigious ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ by ASSITEJ, The International Association of Theatre for Children and Young People.
‘Jude has left some very lovely big boots to fill and we are delighted to have appointed the perfect fit in Heidi Vaughan. Her vast experience in and commitment to high quality theatre for young audiences will inspire and shape the next generation of Travelling Light work and the TYA sector as a whole and I wish her the very best of luck on her adventures as Artistic Producer.’
– Ian Reid, Chair of the Board.
