Anthony Haddon came on board with Settle Stories in January 2024 to help design and deliver the Storyful Project combining story and mindfulness for children and their teachers in primary schools. In 1985 he was one of three drama students who set up Theatre Company Blah Blah Blah in Leeds and remained with it as Artistic Director until 2014. During that time he combined school residency projects with touring theatre productions working closely with the playwright Mike Kenny. Since 2014 Anthony has worked with engagement teams at Leeds Playhouse, Opera North, Bradford Museums as well as becoming associate artist at Alive and Kicking Theatre Company and Skipkko Arts Projects. On the international scene Anthony is guest director at Theaterhaus Ensemble in Frankfurt am Main where he devises new shows with the ensemble of actors for audiences of children and young people. His favourite picture book of all time is Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are.
