Mike first came to The Space with a short piece of writing for the appropriately named "Theatre of Inspirations" Scratch night back in 2009. That piece "The Trunk" made a return for the Space's 15th Anniversary show and then on to a full production in 2014. He has been a regular visitor since contributing to numerous new writing initiatives alongside sharing his own work. Over recent years he has read hundreds of submissions, alongside a fabulous reader team, for the Space's Script Space new writing initiative. He was dramaturg for the 2019 Foreword Festival which saw four talented new writers share distinct and powerful voices with new plays. Alongside his work at The Space, Mike is a founder of The London Playwriting Lab workshops, hosts the monthly South London Writers' Group and co-hosts Playwriting at The Pit and Clapham Omnibus workshops.

Tice Oakfield is a composer, writer and performer. After his BA in Musical Theatre at the Fontys Conservatoire (NL), he was accepted into the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama on the MA Classical Acting course. In addition to this he did an intense summer course at the Moscow Art Theatre School (RU) where he undertook more in-depth research for his dissertation: 'Developing Observation Skills', analysing the theatre practitioner Stanislavski’s work. Tice was nominated for the Young Top Talent Award at the Fontys School of Fine and Performing Arts. He was awarded two scholarships to continue his arts studies abroad. His diverse background in different elements of performance (music, movement, puppetry and acting) resonate strongly within his work. His UK productions include The Fantastical Tale of the Boy on the Run, The Astonishing Singing Fish, The Musical Detective Agency, Me and My Leprechaun, The Musical Theatre Studio and Once Upon a Glass of Milk. His solo and duo performances have toured the UK, Netherlands and Belgium. Other theatre credits include Mihai in Rock Paper Scissors, Adolph in Creditors and Ebenezer Scrooge in the UK tour of A Christmas Carol. He is a movie trailer voice for MTV & Nickelodeon co-branded movie promos. You can also listen to him in A Greek Drama on BBC Radio 4. Tice has hosted many of The Space’s festivals and fundraisers. ‘I agree with Brecht, theatre should be as entertaining as a football match. There should always be a form of excitement on stage, in the performance and in the performer’s work.’ He often brings this into practice through audience participation and balloon sword fights. Fun and accessibility are at the heart of what he makes.
