Heidi Vaughan is the incoming artistic producer at award-winning Bristol based Travelling Light theatre company.
Vaughan leaves the post of artistic director for Kazzum in order to join Travelling Light in June; previously she has held the same role at Dot and Ethel theatre company, and has been head of learning at Oxford Playhouse and director of young people’s theatre at The Point Eastleigh as well as other posts.
Vaughan said, "Travelling Light have always made adventurous, creative and ground-breaking theatre for young audiences, made with great craft and care. And I’m excited to continue the company’s commitment to making really dynamic theatrical experiences on a local, national and international level.
Travelling Light are a team of people whose collective talents are astonishing; a company of storytellers who shine a light even in these uncertain times and I’m thrilled to be joining them at such an exciting time for the company, with tours to Shanghai and New York and an Offie nomination in the pipeline and our local Barton Hill community arts festival just around the corner."
Vaughan takes over from Jude Merrill MBE who retires.
