Meet The Artist: Ben Johnson
March 19, 2025 | BlogsFind out more about Ben Johnson, a theatre director and practitioner who will be running a Musical Theatre Workshop for our CANVAS youth group in the Easter holidays!
What kind of artist are you?
I am a theatre director and practitioner who has a healthy obsession and love for Musical Theatre. My work includes projects with both young people and communities as well as both international and national productions.
Where do you find inspiration?
I find inspiration from films, dreams, both classic and current productions and stories that ignite curiosity and creativity.
What advice would you give to anyone who wants to be an artist in Northamptonshire?
Art is not restricted or limited by location or geography. Think big. It is one of the only mediums that possesses a universal language accessed by anyone and everyone across the globe. Can’t find something inspiring in your area? Create it!
Do you have any memories of Made With Many projects that are important to you?
The Easter holiday workshop with CANVAS will be my first time working with Made With Many, but I continue to work in Northamptonshire with my own Musical Theatre classes every Friday in Kettering and an upcoming production of ‘9 to 5; The Musical’ with KOS in Kettering during April, 2025.
What is your favourite biscuit?
A party ring!
