Louisa Borg-Costanzi Potts
Programme Director
Hear how to pronounce my name here.
I work closely with the rest of the team, and particularly with Sam and David, to ‘birth’ all the company’s artistic ideas.
I joined Fevered Sleep in June 2018 as the Programme Producer. I work closely with the rest of the team, and particularly with Sam and David, to ‘birth’ all the company’s artistic ideas - creative midwifery you might say! I also get to work closely with our national and international partners to bring our work to as many places and communities as possible.
I am the daughter of two artists - turned teachers, and the daughter of two Islands; Malta and the UK. After years of moving around a lot and struggling at school, it was the arts, and specifically the work of director Joan Littlewood, that finally gave me a sense of belonging and purpose. Since then the importance of socially engaged and participatory art has never left me. The authentic ways Fevered Sleep ‘meet’ people is one of the many reasons I joined the company. Also because I get bored easily, and no day here is ever the same!

I continue to support all sorts of interesting artists outside of my work with Fevered Sleep either as a producer, project manager or dramaturg. I am proud to be a trustee for Entelechy Arts (a small arts charity supporting marginalised people in South East London) and an active volunteer for Micro Rainbow (a charity supporting LGBTI asylum seekers and refugees). Outside of work you can usually find me doing yoga, at the seaside or dancing in my living room!
