Stasia has been working in Project and Event Management for over 6 years now across Higher Education and the Arts sector (University of Bristol and Bristol Old Vic Theatre School). However, she missed being part of the creative picture so shifted her career in 2022 and entered the world of theatre and live event production as a freelancer. Since then, she’s worked in a variety of live event roles for Llais Festival, Creamfields North, Dimensions Festival, El Dorado, Bath on Ice and most notably on a 30-day UK Arena Tour (London O2,
Manchester AO etc) for Young Voices. In addition, she worked as a Producer/Tour Programmer for Taking Flight Theatre Company and undertook an Assistant Producer placement at Wales Millennium Centre during her MA in Arts Management (Creative Producing) at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
