Sheila Hill is a writer, theatre-maker and installation-artist.

‍

Words are her starting point. Always using real voices, she records interviews with people, transcribing and editing what they say down to a poetic core.

‍

A spinal injury, when she was 32, interrupted, challenged and hugely influenced her work - which has since often focused on fragility. She is also interested in finding slowness and peace in our digital world.

‍

Sheila has had secondary careers both as curator, and journalist.

‍

In 2010, she founded Tabernacle Folk, a pioneering, four year music festival, voted Time Out's Critics Choice Best Gig in London.

‍

She worked as a Guardian columnist in the early '90s, and continues to write occasional features.
