core team

Tracy Radford - CEO | Artistic Director

With over two decades of experience in social care, community development, and the arts, Tracy has dedicated her career to supporting marginalised communities.

In 2006, Tracy, along with Jayne Williams, co-founded Unanima and spearheaded the development of an innovative theatre making process that centres on the lived experience of learning disabled and autistic communities, co-creating groundbreaking performances and challenging exclusionary practices in the arts.

As CEO and Artistic Director, Tracy is continuously developing new and exciting work strands. Her self-declared mission is to continue to think creatively to spark solutions that ensure Unanima not only grows and flexes within the climate we find ourselves, but consistently works within local and national networks to push and demand for a place for learning disabled and / or autistic artists to have an authentic relevance.

Tash Bird - Senior Producer

Starting in 2015, Tash was commissioned as singer / songwriter for the show 'Love, Life, No Sat Nav'. Tash brought energy, skills, and elevated the theatre we created, and as a result, Tash joined Unanima Theatre's Creative Team in 2018.

Tash is now Senior Producer for Unanima, facilitating several strands of work and leading on programming for OneFest.
Tash is an integral part of the team and plays a pivotal role in helping Unanima drive impactful advocacy and change within the arts.
