Be Inspired Champion: Sally-Anne Coleman

First Published 5 April 2017, Last Updated 5 April 2017

The Olivier Awards with Mastercard, the UK’s most prestigious stage honours, have unveiled 6 inaugural “Be Inspired Champions”. Nominated by members of the public and theatre industry, these six individuals have motivated and inspired others with their love and commitment to theatre.

In the final instalment of Be Inspired Champions video series, we hear the story of Sally-Anne Coleman, a performer, choreographer and director who brought love and joy to so many.

Sally-Anne was nominated following her diagnosis of terminal cancer and died shortly after the competition closed. Through her work at a youth theatre group, Sally-Anne sought to ensure that every child’s experience was special and empowering, passing on her love of performing to the next generation of theatre fans.

You can keep up to date with all the Olivier Awards news between now and the grand occasion on Official London Theatre, and by following us on Twitter and Facebook. You can also follow the Oliviers’ own Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts.

A full recap of all six Champions is available here.
