As a producer, Laura supports artists working across dance, live art and contemporary performance as well as work that is multidisciplinary or sits at the intersections of different forms. Laura is particularly interested in accessible, care filled and sustainable approaches to producing and collaborating with artists.
Informed by an integrated and embodied approach to work and practice, Laura has a developing specialism in producing projects for and with disabled, neurodivergent, and chronically ill artists and audiences. They also offer freelance Access Coordination and Consultation services to support other artists, producers, organisations and projects.

Laura was a recipient of a Federation of Scottish Theatre Producer Bursary between Dec 2019 and May 2020, supporting a placement with The Work Room, developing an artist led model for a dance scratch event in Scotland.
