Nisha Oza

Who are you and what do you do at CPT?

I’m Nisha, the new Artist Support Producer at CPT

What part of your role are you most excited about?

To support creatives coming through CPT’s schemes is a real honour. I’m so excited to work with each individual on their own trajectory, giving them the tools to thrive in the wider theatre ecology, using CPT’s inspiring vision of community through extraordinary performance as a vital anchor.

What's your favourite kind of theatre/performance?

I really just love a good story, honestly told. That can take any form.

What's your go-to drink when you see a show?

Probably just a white americano, or a tonic water if I’m feeling fancy. I’d fall asleep after one of anything stronger.

What shows are you looking forward to the most at CPT this season?  

I’m looking forward to absolutely everything in the Vault Rehomed season, and so thrilled that these shows are getting the platform they deserve. Also looking forward to I Hate It Here because I’m obsessed with Dolly Parton.

Nisha is co-founder and creative producer at The Lot Productions, who make independent work with an inclusive mindset. She has worked across the subsidised and commercial sectors for Organisations including the National Theatre, The Bridge Theatre, Kiln Theatre and Tamasha Theatre Company.

She is a trustee for Stage One Producer’s Charity and Roots Touring Theatre Company.

Adam Welsh

Who are you and what do you do at CPT?

I'm Adam and I am CPT's new Artist in the Community!

What part of your role are you most excited about?

Making friends with the hyper local communities and finding out how I can use my skills as an artist to serve them and CPT. Because it's a new role too, I'm excited about helping to shape what the role can be and to influence how CPT relates to its communities.

What's your favourite kind of theatre/performance?

I actually love non-verbal stuff, the less linear the better, I'm very sound and image driven and I like to tap into the emotional register of a work, rather than the intellectual... I have ADHD so following plots and words is exhausting.

What's your go-to drink when you see a show?

Non-Alcoholic Beer. Hoppy one's.

What shows are you looking forward to the most at CPT this season?

Oooooooo ALL OF THEM, particularly excited about SPRINT though, as that's where I started out as an artist!
