July's Conversation: The Power of Images
Images have the ability in conveying powerful messages which have the potential to evoke different emotional responses in the viewer. At this Creative Circles, we will be looking at how the past few years have led to more arts institutions becoming dependent on images to engage with their audiences.

About the speaker
Lynn has enjoyed a varied career path to get to Leith Theatre, with many experiences in Independent Film, public and private sectors, including a key role at Cultural Enterprise Office and leading on development, operations and business processes during her management roles at the gate cinema, Notting Hill, Brixton’s The Ritzy and Edinburgh’s Cameo Cinema.
Lynn has been in post since November 2018 and bore the immediate decommissioning of the boiler with good humour, something that goes far in a heritage building with few services. She has used her creative solutions-based approach to encourage an innovative and entrepreneurial spirit to grow within the walls, ultimately guiding the Theatre towards its new vision.
