We’re thrilled to announce Samantha Nurse as our new Associate Director! Over the next 12 months, Sam will work closely with our Director, Sho, to lead and shape OutdoorArtsUK’s key programmes, including the National Conference, Winter Webinar Series, and BOOST programme. The OAUK Associate Directorship aims to offer practical experience of taking responsibility of an Arts Council core-funded organisation and to diversify the pool of leaders in Outdoor Arts.

Samantha brings exceptional experience as a producer, having toured nationally and internationally, presenting work for leading creative organisations such as Theatre Royal Stratford East, Historic Royal Palaces, Royal Court Theatre, and Talawa Theatre Company. She has produced work across a spectrum of disciplines including theatre, music, audio-visual, dance, comedy, live events, film, and installations, working in both traditional and non-traditional venues.

We’re excited to have Samantha on board!
