"It's a pleasure to write in support of Lisa. As the programme lead for comedy and performance at Salford, she took the curriculum by the scruff of its neck and turned this area of writing, teaching and professional performance into a jewel. A consummate team-worker, Lisa's strength is her ability to recognise opportunity and talent and then to work - very hard and with others - to mould this into a finished product. Working with Lisa taught me to take comedy seriously. She will go on to show how comedy can not only entertain but can also humanize and mediate some of the difficult and complex fractures of our times. Martin Hall, Emeritus Professor, University of Cape Town and former Vice-Chancellor, University of Salford"

Spoken word workshops 2023

I have had the pleasure of knowing Lisa Moore for over 20 years, initially as my media and film teacher at uni of Salford, and more recently collaborating with her at Alchemy arts on our artful paths project. Her  ability to engage young girls -especially from BAME backgrounds through her spoken word workshops was extraordinary .She provided them with a powerful platform to express their views on making our city streets, safer and more inclusive.

her diverse talents as an actor, Director, producer,  script, writer performance, poet, educational consultant, and executive film producer, are evident  in her work 

 Lisa is a true asset to any project - combining creativity with a deep commitment  toward social impact 

I wholeheartedly recommend her.
