More about Rosie

Co-manager of Cheshire Rural Touring Arts (CRTA).

CRTA presents high-quality professional theatre, music, dance, comedy, and family shows.

Communities across Cheshire are at the heart of what we do. Our volunteer community promoters select and host shows each season; providing a warm welcome to audiences in village halls, community centres, libraries and cultural & educational venues.

Supported by Arts Council England, Cheshire West and Chester, Cheshire East Council.

I am a Trustee of Impelo, a small but mighty arts CIO in mid-Wales with a reputation for a socially engaged, inventive, and ambitious approach, redefining community dance and arts in a rural context.

Alongside my work in the arts, I completed postgraduate training in Counselling and volunteered with the Samaritans, experiences which deepened my understanding of mental health, communication and the importance of compassionate listening.

This has strongly influenced my approach to working within the creative industries. I aim to offer a reflective, person-centred and supportive way of working that values empathy, collaboration and sustainable relationships. Increasingly, I find this approach resonates with artists and collaborators who are neurodiverse or have diverse access needs.

I am now based in the beautiful rural countryside of North Wales, not far from Chester, and currently collaborate with artists, companies and organisations across the UK.

Creativity, care, accessibility, collaboration, integrity and sustainable practice.
