Miranda Naiman, Artsplan Trainer

Miranda is currently the Training Manager for Radar Ltd in Tanzania, East Africa where she is responsible for designing and implementing a range of interactive training courses in the corporate sector.

Her previous experience in the UK has been primarily centred on youth arts in socio-economically deprived urban precincts most notably in West Yorkshire and South London. Fusing the use of drama and music in her workshops, Miranda advocates a participatory approach to human development.

She was part of the first batch of students to complete the Central School of Speech and Drama’s BA(Hons) degree in Drama, Applied Theatre and Education, before going on to do an MA in Theatre and Development Studies at the University of Leeds.

Miranda trains teenage Tanzanian peer-mentors on a voluntary basis, and enjoys drawing on her dual-heritage (UK & Tanzania) to ensure diversity in her workshops.
