I work for BBC Radio & Music as a Production Management Assistant in Bristol, which specialises in poetry and literature strands for Radio 4.

Beyond the BBC, I am a writer and performer for the theatre company Bucket Club, (www.bucketclub.co.uk), and a spoken word poet. I am the South-West Hammer and Tongue Slam Champion 2014!

I co-wrote the script and music for 'Lorraine & Alan', a play which Bucket Club developed during a residency at The Lyric Hammersmith. We performed at the Pleasance Dome as part of the Edinburgh Fringe this year, where we won The Pleasance's Charlie Hartill Award, The Brighton Fringe Award and The Musical Theatre Network Award for Innovation. We have since got funding for a 3 month regional tour next year, organised through Battersea Arts Centre.

I also freelance as an artist and marketing designer, where I specialise in large-scale portraiture (www.rebeccaripley.com).
