YOU ME BUM BUM TRAIN
I Directed and Produced one of the largest scenes in the 2024-2025 iteration of You Me Bum Bum Train.
I formed and led a team of 10 from a range of disciplines such as TV producers, writers, journalists, actors and recent graduates to develop and execute the scene.
I devised, wrote, scripted, rehearsed and executed the scene, briefing and directing departments and my team, as well as establishing team structure, work processes and being responsible for their workload.
I directed a cast of 32+ on each show night, often rehearsing in changes and required choreography to new cast members to maximise the scene’s authenticity.
I also used my initiative to approach and pitch my scene to a high profile football club to secure their partnership and brand involvement in the show.
My scene became an instant fan favourite with the audience citing it as the most memorable, powerful and emotionally engaging in the show and my team lauded my ability to create a warm, collaborative and nurturing environment and leading calmly under high pressure.
