Riff Raff Producing is a non-profit production company. Dedicated to using the arts as a tool for wellbeing, community building and creative expression, our team brings decades of experience in arts and engagement across theatre, dance and music. As well as designing and delivering our own projects, we offer bespoke producing services to artists and organisations, supporting them with creative development, project management, consultancy, fundraising and marketing.
We believe that arts and wellbeing are inherently linked, and that creating beautiful objects, spaces and participatory experiences gifts people an opportunity to feel valued and part of a community. From the intimate to the spectacular, we create spaces, performances and participatory experiences that celebrate and bring together families and communities in all their forms, with our head-turning, heart-warming, multi-artform projects.
Stemming from our own experience, we strongly believe in creating accessible opportunities to the arts for main caregivers and their families, knowing that if we invest in main caregivers, it has ripple effects. We aim to weave this belief through our working practices with the teams we work with, as well as for our audiences and participants.
We offer a bespoke service depending on our clients’ needs. From full producing partners, to consultancy advice, we love creative conversations and are happiest when supporting artists, arts organisations and charitable organisations in making their creative ideas a reality.
When working with our clients, we designate the most suited lead producer based on artform, location or expertise. We then work collaboratively within our small and supportive team, utilising our in-house task management systems to ensure all milestones are met on time and on budget.

At Streetwise Opera she worked on projects involving homeless participants and professional singers, developing successful marketing strategies to increase participation in workshops and attract new audiences to performances. She assisted with the creation of new, informal performances to both develop the participant’s skills and maintain audiences across multiple regions between the cycle of larger shows.
As Communications Officer at Dance North Scotland, she was responsible for developing audiences for RISE Festival 2019, marketing the three-day festival, running the social media campaign and responded to local audiences needs by introducing a pop-up box office, online brochure and other innovations.
