FLOCK Co-Directors

The FLOCK Co-Directors are made up of young people, aged 18-25, from across East Anglia who have an interest in, or active practice in socially engaged work. Supported by members of the Festival team they meet throughout the year to design and deliver network events and lead on the direction of FLOCK. During their time as a Co-Director, they will decide policies, themes, venues and speakers. In addition, each member will take the lead on producing a network event.

The Co-Directors are in post from February-January and application open each winter for the next cohort.

I’m Astyn, a film production graduate from UCA in Surrey, and I’ve been working with FLOCK for almost two years now. I’m based in Norfolk, and am keen to help artists across all art forms in the regions to connect, learn, and create, through the events we run at FLOCK!

Ben Treadaway

Hello all, I’m Ben, a community facilitator and producer based in Lowestoft with a background in applied theatre, community organising, and live events. I’m currently pursuing training to become a licensed Dramatherapist, and in my spare time I write poetry and spoken word for reflective practice.

Isabella Grieco

Raised in Ipswich and a graduate of Norwich University of the Arts in Film and Moving Image Production, my position as FLOCK Co-Director follows my work as an Norfolk & Norwich Festival’s Young Creatives bursary recipient. With support from SPILL Festival, I delivered a programme assisting local early-career writers, with a keen focus on access which is present throughout my practice.

Day-to-day, I’m on the Sales & Admin team at DanceEast and involved in numerous local community groups, having helped run events with organisations such as Community Hub Ipswich and Young Artists In Suffolk

Lewis Dunnill

I am a scriptwriter based in Norwich, interested in genre works, with recent experience writing a children’s sci-fi web series. I began working with FLOCK two years ago after attending their events, and hope to deliver the same great experiences I’ve had.

Ruby Cheng

I’m a Norwich-based art educator and ceramicist specialising in community engagement and wellbeing. My practice focuses on celebrating people’s stories through facilitating creative workshops and creating art collectively. Besides FLOCK, I am an event producer and creative technician for local secondary schools, Studio Do, Norfolk County Council and more.

Terran Burrell

My name is Terran Burrell (they/them). I am an actor, musician, singer, model, voice actor and artist (mostly acrylic), based in Norwich, Norfolk. I have an eclectic range of creative skills, having worked with businesses such as Royal Shakespeare Company, Headlong Theatre, Tik Tok, Wizards of the Coast, Out There Arts, Prince’s Trust, The Puppet Tree and Young Norfolk Arts. I’m particularly interested in the weird and wonderful, with a huge passion for fantasy, horror, folklore and sci-fi. I am very proud to be working with FLOCK as a co-director, to help others network within their respective fields.
