My Gurus – Liam Evans-Ford

Tim Carroll

As a young theatre maker Tim informed my love of the ‘live’. Up until that point I’d been brought up to believe in the normal mainstream UK industry approach of rigorously rehearsed – and then repeated each evening – theatre practice. Tim reveled in the unknown aspects of theatre and has always aimed to equip artists, and audiences, to embrace and overcome such fearsome unknowns. Tim empowered me to go and sell such work as a producer – not always easy when people haven’t experienced such bravery, especially when audience targets and financial bottom lines are involved.
