Callum Holt is an independent Producer based in Leeds but working across the UK. He supports a number of independent artists including Company K, Charlotte Jones, Sam Burkett, Excessive Human Collective and Northern Rascals, and has produced festivals and scratch nights for organisations such as Yorkshire Dance and Leeds City Council (Leeds Light Night). He also runs artist development programmes, most notably his What Next Workshops which aim to give early career artists the basic knowledge and skills they need to kickstart a freelance career in the arts.

The work he does varies greatly, but is underpinned by:

• Supporting artists in establishing themselves and growing their careers

• Advising on and supporting projects that involve making innovative live performance, in particular dance, live art, and musical theatre

• Supporting projects that are socially engaged

He is particularly passionate about providing artists the support they need in order to make great projects, and in supporting projects that respond to social issues.
