Bertie Watkins. Art is Everywhere

Art is everywhere is a section dedicated to young creative minds. This time, it's Bertie Watkins' turn.
Bertie is only 20 years old, yet he has already accomplished so much, so he deserves this article.

Bertie you see, is all about theatre. He loves it with a passion which is difficult to find nowadays. He started it all by studying Drama and Theatre during his A Levels, and he hasn't stopped ever since.

He currently works as a young producer at the BAC, the Battersea Arts Centre, where he is in charge of schedulling and programming. He has also worked as a producer and director of a festival called 'If I Ruled the World', which took place at the BAC.

His work extends all the way to Edinburgh, where he has taken part in the Fringe Festival and also as part of the Creative Producer Exchange; a creative exchange between Manchester, Bristol and the BAC.

Bertie also encourages young people to get more involved in theatre and other creative arts. He runs a young people's theatre workshop at Graveney School, and his proactive passion for it makes him one of the best.
His dedication and efforts have paid off. He has shadowed some of the best British producers and directors such as: Sean Holmes, Nickolas Hytner and David Grindley.

Bertie is an inspiration to young people, therefore we should encourage people like him to keep doing what they do best, being creative.
