"Katy Spicer Biography
        

Katy Spicer is the Executive Director and Co-Chief Executive with Kim Brandstrup and joined Arc in August 2000. She is responsible for selling the company's performances to theatres and festivals in both the UK and overseas, financial management and fundraising, human resource development and general company management.

Katy has been working in arts management since graduating from London University in 1983 with a degree in English Literature and History. She has worked in a variety of areas including marketing, finance, fund-raising, tour management, training and general company management, and with numerous arts organisations. Posts include Training Officer at the Arts Council of England, General Manager of Green Candle Dance Company and Administrative Director / Co-Chief Executive of Chester Gateway Theatre. In a freelance capacity she has worked with Manchester International Theatre Consortium, Northern Soul, English Touring Theatre, Bolton Octagon Theatre, Cheshire Dance, London Contemporary Dance School, Warm Gun Films and Method and Madness.

Katy has also served on the boards of Dance UK, Cheshire Dance and Dance North West and has been Chair of the Management Liaison Group (Dance UK), a member of the Independent Theatre Council's Training Committee and the Arts Council of England's Development Advisory Panel for Dance, and a performance assessor for the Dance Department of the Arts Council.

Katy has a post-graduate diploma in Arts Management from City University and a post-graduate certificate in Script Editing from Liverpool, John Moores University."

Not for me to get too puzzled about the chronology - either ARC haven't updated their site for her leaving or she's still there as well as General Manager of Rambert Dance Company. I'd guess at a web-site nonsense. Jolly good luck to her, anyway.

Speaking of Olympics as above, sailing club to which I belong has had mention of Weymouth 2012, and needing to have proposals in order some years before. I suspect that while it seems an age away, the time will fly. [Just heard what sounds like Chris wood on R3]
