BOP turns 25 – September: Liam Sinclair

BOP is turning 25 this year – to celebrate we have been in conversation with some of the key figures who have helped to make the company what it is.

In October 2016 Liam took up post with the University of St Andrews as Artistic Director of the Byre Theatre. Prior to this he held the roles of Executive Producer for Scottish Dance Theatre; Artistic Director & CEO of Macrobert Arts Centre; Director of the Edinburgh Mela; and Head of YouthWorks Drama (Short Courses) for the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, of which he is a graduate. He is Chair of the Board for Luminate, Scotland’s Creative Ageing Festival, and stood down in 2015 from serving for 8 years as Chair of Birds of Paradise Theatre Company.
