​Evelyn Adesina

Production and Filmmaking Trainee
​

​A multidisciplinary creative working across theatre, film, photography, and digital media, with a strong passion for storytelling and community engagement. Her lifelong dedication to the arts has driven her to continuously develop skills and explore new ways to use creativity as a tool for connection and communication.
​

She actively volunteers in creative spaces such as HOME and Factory International, gaining hands-on experience supporting events, engaging audiences, and working within live cultural environments. She recently volunteered as a Media Assistant at the See My World Festival, a multicultural event that reflect the aspirations of Manchester’s Pan-African community, where she contributed creative content and supported engagement with diverse communities across the city.

Alongside this, she has taken part in several community photography workshops, gaining experience covering events as both a photographer and videographer. These experiences have strengthened her skills in visual storytelling and digital media, and have inspired her to pursue creative work that combines production, community engagement, and cultural impact.

As a Production and Filmmaking Trainee with Sheba Arts, Evelyn gained practical experience across event and festival delivery, supporting live projects, coordination, and behind-the-scenes production processes. She was particularly interested in understanding how creative events are planned, delivered, and promoted, and how production teams collaborate to create meaningful and inclusive cultural experiences.
​
She developed skills in creating Gantt charts, planning storyboards, and supporting a range of projects. During her training, she filmed two of our events, supported outreach activities and workshops, and helped set up the exhibition at The Old Courts in Wigan.

Evelyn contributed to the team during the Winter Social, where she assisted with filming and editing the final video. You can watch the video below, don't forget to like and comment.

My experience was amazing. I got to work with a very dedicated team that listens and cares about your development. I think it is a very good programme and I hope that there are many more opportunities for other creatives to get this experience as well.
​It was educational, impactful and valuable.
