Hi everyone, I’m Julie – the Projects Manager here at Visible Fictions. I’m here to support the team on all the incredible creative projects currently being developed, in rehearsal or already touring. I’ll crossover with the entire VF team as well as our creative teams and project partners to ensure everyone has everything they need in order to bring all these wonderful stories to life!
Hejhej, I’m Malena and I am Visible Fictions’ Social Media Officer. It is my job to communicate and promote the artistic work, our vision, and all upcoming events via a wide range of digital platforms. What I really like about my role is that I get to be very creative, often using both video and photography to create exciting content. There are also important social aspects to the job, and I always thrive to engage the online community by inviting them to open and respectful dialogues, and to make sure that the Visible Fictions’ social media outlets have a layout, and themes, that can be accessed, used and enjoyed by all audiences.
Hi, I’m Jason, the Fundraising Officer here at Visible Fictions. I’m responsible for securing the vital funds that allow us to create innovative and engaging theatre experiences for audiences near and far. From developing relationships with trusts and foundations to connecting with individual donors, I work to ensure our creative projects thrive and reach those who need them most.
I’m passionate about the arts and its power to inspire, and I love seeing the impact of our work on young people and communities. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring Scotland and relaxing at home with my cat.
