As a women-led venue, we are thrilled to be working with so many amazing women across our team and to be supporting a range of women-led works in our Spring programme this year. To celebrate Women’s History Month, we’re highlighting this team of fantastic women. Next up is Kristína Munková, our current student placement from Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.

Can you introduce yourself, and tell us a little about your role at Shoreditch Town Hall?

My name is Kristína Munková, and I am currently studying for my MA in Creative Producing at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. As part of my course, I am doing a placement with Shoreditch Town Hall, specifically with the Cultural Programme team under the direction of Ellie Browning and Susannah Bramwell. For the most part, I am doing a lot of learning and I have the great privilege to be sharing knowledge with such wonderful people at Shoreditch Town Hall.

Describe a project or event you’re currently working on:

One of the projects we are currently focusing on is the preparation for Women’s History Month. For International Women’s Day we had an exciting line up of in-house program planned from Bollywood dancing, history tours and book launches, and for this we are outreached to many local artists and organisations to come celebrate with us. It is important to honour the lives and stories of women from across London and the globe, and I am glad we are doing this job at Shoreditch Town Hall.

What do you like to do when you’re not at work?

Other than going to the theatre and cinema, I enjoy all things natural and always look for opportunities to go hiking and swimming. I also particularly like winter sports! I am vegan and always look for new recipes to cook at home or visit new vegan restaurants, of which there are luckily plenty in London.

What are you most looking forward to in our Spring Season?

I am most looking forward to STAMP Connects, which I think is a great opportunity for artists to network and learn more about the sector in accessible and fun way!
