David Marshall was born in Nottingham, UK, but it is Liverpool that he considers to be the city that nurtured and shaped him intellectually and artistically, notably in the theatre, where he helped establish the Unity Theatre in the premises that it now occupies. As a director, David was always keen to experiment with the up-and-coming technology of the day and many of the shows he directed were especially ambitious in the special effects domain. Unity has now become one of the UK’s leading venues for touring companies. (More info on the Unity website here: www.unitytheatreliverpool.co.uk.)
In 1994 David relocated to France, one of the main crossroads for the transmission of art, culture, and new ideas that fertilise exchanges between the Northern countries of Europe and those of the Mediterranean basin. With over thirty years’ experience in the cultural industries as project leader and negotiator, David’s role within the project’s management structure will be chief coordinator, the catalyst for bringing together experts and specialists from seemingly disparate disciplines. His twelve years as founder and builder of the independent contemporary art centre, established at Château de Linardié, gave him many contacts with artists, scientists, technologists, university researchers, and gallery directors, who will be drawn upon for setting up and running this project.
