Statement from current Creative Director, Jamie Sutherland

Hello folks,

It is with great sadness that I’m announcing I’ll be stepping down as Creative Director of SEALL this December to rejoin my family in Edinburgh. It has been a huge privilege to steward SEALL over the past few years. With a brilliant team in place, new infrastructure, a busy events calendar, and our admission into Creative Scotland’s Multi-Year Funding portfolio, the organisation is in a strong position for the future.

I’m deeply grateful to Gareth Morgan, the SEALL Board, and my colleagues for their support, and for the many unforgettable moments we’ve shared through performances, workshops, and events.

I look forward to seeing you all down the road.

Jamie Sutherland
