The London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (Locog) has appointed Ruth Mackensie as director of culture for 2012.
She will lead the Locog culture team reporting to Cultural Olympiad chairman Tony Hall and will be supported by a team of artistic advisers – Martin Duncan, Craig Hassall, Sir Brian McMaster and Alex Poots – who will continue in their current roles.
Mackensie is currently an expert adviser on broadcasting and cultural policy for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. She was also the first general director of the Manchester International Festival, artistic director of Chichester Festival Theatre and general director of Scottish Opera.
Hall said: “This appointment means leadership plus teamwork. The Cultural Olympiad will move forward under Ruth Mackenzie’s expert guidance, and she will be supported by four people who know all there is to know about putting a celebration like this together, both creatively and administratively. I’m very excited about what this team under Ruth will deliver.”
