IT'S ALL ABOUT ME...

I am passionate about projects that excite and engage audiences - this includes working with Magnetic North and Errol White Company who I believe truly articulate in this aim.

I have a particular interest in creating work for children and young people, I have been lucky enough to work with some of the UK's experts in this field including; Imaginate, Starcatchers, Gill Robertson, Wee Stories Theatre, Jo Timmins and Reeling and Writhing Theatre Company.

At the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, I was the Promoter Liaison Officer, a role that supported companies looking for touring and career opportunities after the festival. I worked in the Press and Promoters department at the Fringe for five years where I hosted How to Tour (after the Fringe) events, Press & Marketing workshops and represented the organisation at national and international roadshows.

'Efficient but enthusiastic and bursting with knowledge, you can't help thinking that if you were that company looking for a new connection, then Dani Rae would be the person to help you find it.'
