Director made an MBE
Cilla Baynes, Director of CAN, has been made an MBE.
For the creative director, the official recognition for services to the arts comes as
her second this year.
In May 2007, Cilla was declared the winner of the Arts Award category at the Inspiring Women Awards, sponsored for the first time by Arts Council England.
Cilla has worked for over 30 years in the arts, mainly in the community/participatory
arts sector and her work has reached communities in the North West, London and other parts of the UK.
Cilla is now back at CAN after her 12 month sabbatical made possible through an ACE, NW 'Artists Insights' award. She spent the time developing her artistic practice as a theatre maker and, amongst other things, exploring her Burmese heritage to develop a new live performance project. |
