Our Staff

Our work wouldn’t be possible without the united efforts of our behind-the-scenes team. 

Together with a network of specialist teachers, performers, practitioners and volunteers who lead our workshops, events and activities, our staff ensure the charity is forward-thinking and continually adapting to the changing needs of children and young people.

Ella Schwarz FRSA - CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Ella has worked at Total Insight Theatre since 2016 and recently took over as Chief Executive Officer from our Founder, Adam Tulloch. She continues to play a pivotal role in the charity’s operations, overseeing programmes, widening participation, and implementing the strategy to ensure our work benefits those we set out to reach. In previous roles, she has supported organisations and institutions in a range of areas, including communications, mentoring and education. Ella also guest lectures at SOAS, University of London.

“I’m delighted that Ella is taking on the CEO role. She has worked closely with Adam since the very early days and has helped steer Total Insight Theatre from its non-profit beginnings into the successful charity it is today. Ella’s commitment, drive and enthusiasm will ensure the continuity needed to provide the service our beneficiaries need and to write the next chapter.”
