Bridie Doyle Roberts

In 2024 Bridie became an Agent for Change with Craidd at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama to advocate for a theatre sector that is more inclusive and accessible to disabled, Deaf and neurodivergent people. She brings a passion for creative access along with her lived experience of disability and an experience of theatre practice to this role.

Bridie is a Welsh artist creating immersive and theatrical installation art with furniture, poetry and sound. After training in Dance she founded Citrus Arts, a circus, dance and outdoor arts charity where she acted as Co-Director for 15 years. In this role she created festival, site-specific and touring theatre productions and developed education and community development projects. These included work with Green Man Festival, National Centre for Circus Arts, Walk The Plank, Theatr Cymru, Ballet Cymru, Arts Active, Arts Council of Wales, Circomedia and Bath Spa University.

In 2021 she founded Stiwdio-C a creative upholstery studio where she has been creating art installations that combine her interest in fine art and performance. Recent projects have involved a creative lab for disabled, Deaf and neurodivergent Artists to collaborate on accessible Welsh language led work, a highly personal immersive furniture and soundscape installation about the subject of sight loss and street furniture installations to provoke debate on littering and the death of the high street.
