Felicity Williams works as a writer, creative director, and a composer and lyricist. She has been a recipient of numerous QE 2 Arts Council Awards, most notably the one year residency “Composer-In-Schools,” where she first collaborated with Margaret Mahy on several children’s operettas, including “The Man Whose Mother Was a Pirate,” and “Jam.” The residency kick-started her interest into using children’s play patterns as the basis of new media projects, in particular “The Dress-Up Box.” Funded by NZ On Air and screening on TV3 "The Dress-Up Box" reviewed as “visually brilliant” and the series has played on screen in New Zealand around 1999 – 2004, and was both finalist and winner in the NZ and Qantas television awards. She attended a two day film summit in Los Angeles in 2010 and has had projects in development with media companies in the UK and the USA.
