NATASHA BUCKNOR will join the Regional Theatre Young Director Scheme (RTYDS) as executive director later this month, taking over from interim executive director SARAH NICHOLSON.

Bucknor has previously worked with theatre companies including the Almeida, the National Theatre Studio and Talawa Theatre Company, and also consults for organisations across the cultural sector.

She is currently interim executive director at Clean Break and a trustee at Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse Theatres. In her spare time, Bucknor mentors both mid-career and emerging administrators and general managers and in 2019, received an MBE for services to theatre.

Bucknor joins RTYDS as it begins a nationwide initiative to address socio-economic inequity in theatre.
