Let's change the arts

Gemma Alldred

Connecting Communities Lead Producer

Gemma is a theatre maker, and community artist, specialising in arts and wellbeing practice. She is passionate about creativity in all its forms, and enjoys nothing more than bringing her love for the arts and its unique ability to connect us, to places and people helping to grow communities, and support individual development.

Gemma has been working in the arts since 2007, and in that time has benefitted from a wide range of roles and experience; she has co-founded two arts and health organisations, been artistic director to a theatre company, led artistic engagement programmes for charities to theatres, led socially engaged festivals, programmed for an arts centre, and taught at HE and FE levels.
It is this breadth of skills, experience and devotion to community arts that Gemma brings to her role developing and producing exciting and ambitious community led work with Diverse City.
