Born to Liverpool Irish parents, a Catholic father and Protestant Mother, Julie Mc was raised to be politically aware. Conflict resolution began at the dinner table. She began her career in Art school​ and then moved into Theatre in the community. Her work has always been driven by a passion for social justice. She seeks out excluded voices and stories from the political periphery and brings them centre stage. She is a published poet, an award winning playwright and an outspoken voice amidst the Mental Health Service Survivor community. Artistic Director of Vital Xposure theatre, she remains a passionate advocate for Disability Rights. Vital Xposure is a disability-led touring theatre company based at Hackney Empire Theatre, placing talented disabled artists in the mainstream.
