The Hackney Empire Theatre

At Hackney Empire Theatre, I led content creation for youth theatre productions, producing dynamic video content for social media that captured both on-stage moments and behind-the-scenes stories. My role included interviewing prominent UK creatives such as Rapman, Jess Iszatt, Percelle Ascott, and MKFray, creating engaging reels and interviews tailored to our audience. I also co-managed the HE Futures social media page, curating content that spotlighted local talent and inspired young people from Hackney to see themselves in theatre, both on and off the stage. Below are some of the social content I created throughout my time at Hackney Empire Theatre.
