Theatre should be a form of escapism, temporarily removing the audience from themselves, while still reflecting a deeper understanding of the world. Combining traditional model making with ProCreate, SketchUp and CAD, I render dramaturgically driven designs that are intrinsic to understanding and developing themes of a production, relishing exposing literary ideas and conveying narrative not just through action and dialogue but through a narrative visual language.
With a background of performance experience and a lifetime love of creating, the world of Design for Performance combined everything I love into one place. Growing up, dreaming of the world of theatre, while in a small town, has allowed me to express myself in ways that has given me my own sense of direction and understanding of expectations. “All the world’s a stage” is a lifestyle for me - not just a quote learnt in school.
Residing in Cardiff, but with bases in London and West Sussex, and a degree in Design for Performance from The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama - I can’t wait to see what theatre brings to me next.
