Rebeka (or Beka for short) is the Communications Officer for us here at Yorkshire Youth and Music. She looks after all of the comms for our charity work, including looking after our social media feeds, updating the website, writing our monthly bulletin and generally sharing our news and views.

Beka works for us one day per week, and spends the rest of her time doing more weird and wonderful things...

As well as her communications work, Beka is also an artist and illustrator based in West Yorkshire. Much of her work can be described by the term 'live illustration' and her portfolio includes live drawing (also known as 'scribing' or graphic recording), 2D and 3D illustration, installation and live performance. Her work combines illustration, interactive performance, game design and open source technology in surprising ways. You can explore Beka's other work here: https://bekahaytch.uk/

She also works as a multi-disciplinary artist in the often underestimated outdoor arts sector. She performs, designs, builds set, puppets and props and also runs her own outdoor theatre company called Frolicked. Frolicked has delighted audiences of all ages at festivals and events across Europe for more than a decade and they make magical moments with a range of weird and wonderful creatures and characters...

Beka, ever the clown, also finds it hard to take a selfie (or any photo really!) without doing this:
