Sasha Lee
Creative Fenland Director
I have 30 years of experience in the Arts & Culture sector, ranging from being a professional contemporary dancer and choreographer to creative producer and artistic director of The Point in Hampshire where I worked with artists in all art forms including dance, theatre, circus and outdoor arts. What motivates me is being able to connect people to the arts, to move people and to inspire. My big passions in addition to arts and culture are mountain biking, walking, nature and attempting to grow vegetables!

Beci Callow
Community Arts Coordinator
I have worked within education and arts settings for a little over 10 years. I knew from my own experiences the importance of creativity for wellbeing and I enjoy sharing that with others. Alongside my work, I am a potter and enjoy working with clay and being outside in my allotment digging in the mud.

Alan Seiglow
Creative Volunteering Officer
I really love helping, sharing and enabling others. I know first-hand through my own journey the value of finding wellbeing in creativity. Alongside a passion for theatre, cinema and music I have 20+ years of experience working in cultural and educational organisations. At home I am a practising writer of prose, screenwriting and other assorted ramblings.
