Louisa Davies-Foley

For Louisa, having moved around a lot as a child, something that was always a constant was music. She began violin lessons aged 6, whilst her mother sang in a local choir, and her late father, a percussionist, took her to folk festivals all over the country.

Whilst at university in Norwich, reading English and Film Studies, she got really hooked on playing traditional music, and also became the President of the university's Performing Arts Society and took part in a number of theatre productions. She discovered that she really enjoyed organising events, and decided to pursue a career in the arts.

Since completing an MA in European Cultural Policy and Administration at the University of Warwick Louisa has worked for Birmingham Rep, artSites Birmingham and mac. She is currently part of the small team planning the reopening of mac. Her main art form interests at work are physical and experimental theatre, work for young people and live literature. These days she sings in a choir, and plays fiddle and sings in two folk bands. She is delighted to be part of Foursight Theatre.
