Gerard Boden

General Manager

Hear how to pronounce my name here. My pronouns are they/them.

I am Fevered Sleep’s General Manager, taking care of aspects of administration, financial and office management.

I grew up in Liverpool in the 90s. I was a shy kid who liked to draw, do sums and make up dance routines. After messing up my A-levels I did an Art Foundation BTEC when I was 18 and then studied Fashion at Northumbria University before moving to London, then Spain, working as a shoe designer. 

I got into theatre helping a friend who worked with intergenerational LGBTIQ+ communities by sending out some invites to a show they were putting on. Not long after I co-founded a scratch night for queer and trans performance makers. This project grew into an artist development agency and producing house that was a home for forty artists, and we put on work at the Edinburgh Fringe, in London and Manchester.

Beyond my work at Fevered Sleep I work as an access support worker and dramaturg, and I’m training to be a therapist. I live in a housing co-op where we share meals, chats and the chores. I like walking outside and lying down inside, and I feel most alive in water, in the mountains, on my bike, and when learning something new.
