I create written resources, activities, events, shows, music, and theatre to engage people with the natural world in a fun and meaningful way. If you’re looking for help with that killer idea, to connect, challenge, change perceptions or inspire positive action, then get in touch.
I am an experienced creative producer and skilled communicator who will help turn your engagement ideas into reality.
Whether it be an event, song, show, workshop, poem, or more traditional resources, I have considerable experience working with scientists and finding the most effective and imaginative ways to engage different audiences with science and the natural world.
There has never been a more important time to elevate how we communicate with people about the environment and natural world. Let me help you cut through the noise.
Written resources
I have produced learning resources, reports, case studies, articles, blogs, stories, poems, case studies, scripts, evaluation and much more. I also work as a copyeditor and proofreader. Get in touch if you need written content for your next project.
Event production
I have worked as a producer and manager on many large and small scale events, from three day programmes to community bioblitzes, immersive theatre to botany walks. I am a creative producer, equally happy on stage delivering content, or pulling the strings behind the scenes. Get in touch if you need someone to develop or deliver your next killer event or activity.
Music
I have written original instrumental music for film and video as well as comedy songs on demand for science festivals and events. Get in touch if you want a bespoke tune for your own film, organisation or event.
Shows and talks
I write musical and theatrical science shows for adult, school and family audiences. I also deliver talks on science communication. Get in touch if you are looking for some offbeat entertainment at your next conference, festival, or even school assembly. I also deliver science communication training and workshops.
Video and presenting
I have scripted, co-produced and starred in a number of short films. I have also hosted numerous events and interviews with scientists, in front of live audiences and live streams. Get in touch if you need a host for your next video, or creative content and ideas for your next production.
Get in touch to discuss an idea. I offer very reasonable rates (reduced rate for NGOs) and will consider any project, no matter the size.
‘David is a regular at the Kew Science Festival. We love working with him, since he’s such a versatile science communicator, whether it’s jumping in feet first to deliver a science game with young children, whilst keeping the adults entertained with all the wraparound scientific facts, or performing science songs on stage. He’s brilliantly self-sufficient - after the initial brief, he just gets on with the job - so important for a busy festival organiser.
I’d be happy to thoroughly recommend David - an out and out professional.
