Background

About Iona Fleur Sheppard

I am a freelance creative artist who makes music for multi-sensory spaces and theatre for family and adult audiences.I am passionate about making exciting, engaging and accessible work and specialise in working with underrepresented groups in the community and people who experience the world in a sensory way.​I originally trained at East 15 Acting School, studying Acting and Community Theatre and spent many years performing as an Actor Musician, touring the UK and internationally.I have since worked extensively in sensory theatre in roles such as Musician/Musical Director, alongside making, producing and touring family theatre with my company - Stories in the Dust.​In my career I have been fortunate enough to have worked on some incredible projects with brilliant people, each catering for specific and diverse audiences. ​I believe that every human being deserves the opportunity to access high quality artistic experiences wherever they may be. Whether that's in a hospital bed, floating in a hydrotherapy pool or swinging in an aerial sling in the sky, I believe stories can and should be told in the places that are best suited to their audience.For any creative enquiries: iona-fleur@hotmail.co.uk
