Elli Chapman

We have some very sad news to share about one of our trustees, Elli Chapman. Our thoughts go out to her family and friends 

We are hugely saddened to hear of the recent sudden death of Eleanor Chapman, known as Elli.

Elli was a trustee of National Dance Company Wales for four years, and with great generosity she shared her brilliant knowledge, insight and passion of the arts and young people. With infectious enthusiasm and an ability to share her nurturing spirit, she helped shape our work in so many ways. We will all miss her and her wisdom terribly.

Some of us saw her only a few days ago at the Green Man Festival, where she was Producer of Einstein’s Garden. It was a tribute to her creativity and imagination that it was truly inspirational, full of new ideas and new ways to connect young people to science and creativity.

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to her friends, family and colleagues across all the organisations she was connected with, which were many and varied, as reflected her interests, her kindness and her deep knowledge. We all owe her a huge debt of gratitude.
