Clare Hume MEd (Learning & Teaching in the Arts). Clare, a graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, is a well established Teaching Drama Artist, working in an Inclusive Arts context.

For over a decade, she has been collaboratively creating performance with her adult students of Cosgrove Theatre Players and ShowDowns! Theatre Players, as supported by Cosgrove Care and Down’s Syndrome Scotland, respectively. Clare, from 2015 until June this year, was also the resident drama teacher at New Struan, a residential Scottish Autism school.

Clare enjoyed a long working relationship with the University of Strathclyde where she shared her practice with postgraduate students studying their Diploma in Education. She latterly, over the last seven years, facilitated Diploma Law Students in the honing of their courtroom presence and vocal delivery.

She also, in between her educational workshops at the National Museum of Rural Life, directed several of the Edinburgh International Science Festival touring shows for schools.

And, after her mini residency, at Trongate 103 Galleries in 2011,  she established a niche in Visual Art education, making art accessible to all through Drama. Arts organisations who have engaged her in this capacity include, Project-Ability, Glasgow Print Studio, Engage Scotland, Scottish Maritime Museum (Irvine), and The Queens Gallery (Holyrood).

Throughout Clare’s career, her focus has been on creating quality art and the nurturing of the creative potential of the individual.
