Mobius' Street Team - Where Are They Now?

Our street team are our eyes, ears and voice on the ground for all the print distribution we do at Mobius, sharing flyers and posters with members of the public and drumming up interest in the shows we promote.   

We often work with freelancers and artists, and as a London Living Wage employer, are proud to have supported many creatives through training and early career. Here is a taste of where some of them are at now, as well as some highlights from their time working with us.

1. When did you work for Mobius?  

I worked for Mobius in 2020/2021 before Covid and the pandemic, it was such a fun job! After Covid i'd moved into Choreography, teaching and Directing Theatre work so didn't have much time to keep shifts going, though id have loved to!   

2. Do you have any funny anecdotes/memories of working for Mobius? 

I really enjoyed going to different venues and flyering outside them, nine times out of ten I'd wind up going to the show I was flyering for after. I remember one shift in Leicester Square when it was super busy, rush hour and packed with tourists, some kind soul saw that most folks weren't really paying attention to me and giving me a wide berth to avoid, even though i was slap bang in the centre and working hard to offer them, this person decided to help get my flyering quota... they whipped out a guitar and started singing a song serenading me and my flyering as I worked and got folks to come and take flyers. The next half hour whizzed by and I ran out so fast! I remember thanking the person and offering to buy them a drink and they just said, "it's just nice to help". It was so lovely and really heartwarming, especially as sometimes the London living can feel so isolating and it was a tough shift! I didn't even catch the person’s name, haven't seen them since in Leicester square either. But whoever they were, thank you! 

3. What have you been up to since?

Since my flyering with Mobius, I now work as an Actor, Director, Movement & Fight Choreographer and I teach physical theatre, movement, clowning, mime and stage combat courses at City Lit. I've worked on shows in the UK and China. 

In 2024 I set up my own theatre company called BodyScramble , we specialise in Physical Theatre based adaptations in non-verbal based theatre making. Our first show B24 (an adaptation of a short story by Arthur Conan Doyle) was performed at Lambeth Fringe Festival 2024 to two sold out performances and our second show As Long As The Stars Last which we created earlier last year, was ACE funded and focused on exploring ways of integrating BSL with non-verbal theatre techniques such as Mime & gestural language.  

With the funded support from Arts Council  England I was able to bring my project to Mobius to seek Production and Marketing support! It was just an amazing feeling to come full circle and to work with Mobius as a Theatre Maker, one which I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated and hope to do so again in the near future also! At every point Mobius was supportive and welcoming and it was so funny to be on the other side of flyering this time! 

I'm now developing further R&D on both the shows alongside working freelance as Director, Actor and Choreographer.

1. When did you work for Mobius? 

I worked on and off from 2016 to 2021.  

2. Do you have any funny anecdotes/memories of working for Mobius? 

Flyering helped fund my MA and PhD studies! There was a golden era when pretty much everyone I knew of student-age in London was doing – or had done – some shifts on the side for Mobius.

3. What have you been up to since?  

I’m a lecturer in communications and media and I recently published a book (based on my PhD project) – Kahlil Joseph and the Audiovisual Atlantic: Music, Modernity, Transmedia Art – about the intersections between film, music video, and advertising.

1. When did you work for Mobius? 

I worked for Mobius between 2014 and 2017.  

2. Do you have any funny anecdotes/memories of working for Mobius? 

Once I flyered to Jonathan Pryce who played the lead in Brazil, one of my favourite films. I went to tell him this but I simply couldn’t remember the name of the film so I said ‘I loved you in… my favourite film’. He shuffled off.   

3. What have you been up to since? 

Since working at Mobius I have spent most of my time touring the world as a musician in an electronic music act! Alongside this I am a sound designer and composer working with sync music libraries and multimedia companies that specialise in immersive theatre-based health and safety training days.

1. When did you work for Mobius? 

It might be easier to answer when I didn't work for Mobius as it's been such a huge part of my life! I started as Distribution Coordinator when I was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in 2017. I then moved away from the land of posters and flyers and into the marketing department, eventually becoming a Marketing Account Manager. Despite living abroad from 2019-2024, I stayed on working remotely and only left in January 2026, eight and a half years after starting. 

2. Do you have any funny anecdotes/memories of working for Mobius? 

After such a long time, I have SO many fond and funny memories - I absolutely adored working at Mobius. Some of my favourite memories include my ex-colleague and I trying to see if we could fit into flyer boxes - and sometimes we could! Another key memory has to be when we decorated the office with crisp bunting for another ex-colleague’s birthday. There were packets of crisps hanging everywhere, sporadically dropping onto the floor/desk for about a week. And truly a highlight has always been the absolute chaos that is the annual Christmas party. One year I performed Wuthering Heights and boasted the next day in the office that I got a standing ovation from the team - only for someone to point out there were no chairs in the room and everyone was standing all night, not just for my performance.... 

3. What have you been up to since? (Feel free to brag!) 

I graduated with a Masters in Photojournalism & Documentary Photography from University of the Arts London in 2024. I then spent the next 18 months settling back into life in the UK and building up my portfolio, alongside working at Mobius. My photography work has been featured by BBC News, Royal Photographic Society, Vietnam Times and other indie magazines. Since going freelance with photography I've taken portraits of Suella Braverman and Lisa Nandy and have photographed weddings, corporate shoots and theatre. It's definitely scary working for myself but I'm enjoying it so much! I've also been delighted to work with Mobius again with some photography projects recently with National Youth Theatre and am looking forward to more upcoming work together... Soooo have I really left?
