Following study at the Universities of Exeter and Manchester, Bridget first worked as Research Associate and Guest Lecturer within the Theatre in Prison and Probation Centre, within the Drama Department at Manchester.

She followed this with a move to London to work at Clean Break Theatre Company. Evolving from her work within criminal justice settings,  she went on to project manage large scale public art programmes across London. Fundraising and strategic development work evolved in tandem with these projects and she has, for the last fifteen years, worked freelance to secure funding for companies across art forms- including dance, theatre, visual arts and moving image. Having worked with Bradford based company Dance United Yorkshire for over a decade, Bridget is delighted that her new role at Phoenix allows her an ongoing opportunity to support dance and theatre excellence in West Yorkshire and beyond.
