An arts professional whose career has spanned organisations countywide is now at the helm of The Dukes Centre for Creative Learning in Lancaster.
From discovering a love of theatre while growing up in Morecambe to persuading the RSC to work with youngsters in Blackpool, life’s been a stage for Celine Wyatt.
“I remember family visits to Williamson Park in Lancaster so I’m now looking forward to working with The Dukes on their walkabout shows there as well as working with schools and communities across Morecambe, Lancaster and the county.”
Her career has seen her work at UCLAN arts centre, Preston College, Lancashire County Council and South Ribble Borough Council too where she developed Worden Arts Centre.
Latterly, Celine has worked in Blackpool, firstly as the council’s cultural development officer before two separate spells at the town’s Grand Theatre. There she set up the education department, helped establish their contemporary dance programme and started a successful relationship with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
