Access Support 


In 2022, I worked with Kindred Folk Theatre as an access support worker, to support their studio practice. Since this time, I have worked closely with Jack Evans, to help him to realise his ambitions to carry out a sustainable career in dance. This is early days, however
 Lauren has known Jack for over 10 years and feels like they are on a journey to support each other to learn and develop a a strong working relationship to enable and support Jack's voice and artistic approaches to shine through. I taught Jack at City of Liverpool College, and observed his progress in his BA and MA studies, through close links with University of Chester, whilst working as a Dance Development Artist at Cheshire Dance. We have kept in touch. Jack reached out to me in the pandemic, which was a challenging and isolating time. Through our meetings we have got to know each other more and since our first zoom meeting, Jack has been developing his practice, his understanding of the creative industries beyond education, working to grow his network, and forming new working relationships. Jack has engaged with Open Online Theatre, Together (formerly MDI), Hurley Burly, and he continues to form connections. I am excited about his growth, and what Jack can offer our dance sector. I m excited to apply my own learning to contribute to enable artists to develop, and to build my experience in providing support to other artists. 

Digital Experience

I have worked digitally since 2008, telematically with Dr Pauline Brookes and international universities in USA whilst at Liverpool John Moores University, and since I have attended a range of digital practice CPD opportunities ever since. Lauren worked with Open Online Theatre during the pandemic to enable Lauren to continue to explore how we use technology to make sense of our lives, which continues to sit at the heart of Lauren's creative enquiry. I have collaborated and been mentored by artists with a deep digital sensibility within their own practice including Ant Hagan, Yael Flexer, Venya Krutikov, Joumana Mourad, and Lauren Walker. 


As well as my varied freelance practice, (see www.tuckshopdancetheatre.org/laurentucker.html) I set up Tuckshop Dance Theatre in 2018 and have been refining and diversifying our offer ever since by listening to the voices of young people. I work collaboratively with other people to create, to develop and to explore. We are in early stages of our development, but our ambitions reflect the vision of the young people we connect with. Tuckshop Dance Theatre develop innovative practice to amplify youth voice, stories of humanity and issues of global concern, with a commitment to excellence and diversity. 
We work with people to shape cultural learning opportunities and meaningful experiences to transform people’s lives. We empower young people to celebrate their individuality, organise and express their creativity through shared lived experiences. We celebrate the power of young people and creative practice to lead change, ideas and actions that connect people, give back to their communities and ignite the spark for life long cultural learning.
