Sacha Lee
Creative Fenland Director
I have 30 years of experience in the Arts & Culture sector, ranging from being a professional contemporary dancer and choreographer to creative producer and artistic director of The Point in Hampshire where I worked with artists in all art forms including dance, theatre, circus and outdoor arts. What motivates me is being able to connect people to the arts, to move people and to inspire. My big passions in addition to arts and culture are mountain biking, walking, nature and attempting to grow vegetables!

Alan Seiglow
Creative Volunteering Officer
I really love helping, sharing and enabling others. I know first-hand through my own journey the value of finding wellbeing in creativity. Alongside a passion for theatre, cinema and music I have 20+ years of experience working in cultural and educational organisations. At home I am a practising writer of prose, screenwriting and other assorted ramblings.
Creative Tutors
The creative practitioners we work with are very special. They are talented, passionate about their art-form and enjoy inspiring others. If you are interested in becoming a creative tutor with Creative Fenland, please email your CV and course idea to sacha@creativefenland.org.uk.
