Being an Actor / Writer / Producer myself since 1985, I have seen many changes in the profession, including the increase in creative isolation, and experienced professionals feeling sidelined and devalued. I had the idea to set up OurCreativeEdge to encourage the healthy longevity of creatives in the performing arts through inclusivity, opportunity, and positivity. To offer a proactive safe space and network for exploring, creating, and developing projects with fellow industry professionals, and a similar level of experience.
