Lighting designer and operator for theatre, pantomime and dance.
I have been lighting shows since March 2024, starting on follow spot and desk at my school and growing into designing and operating full productions for local theatre groups, dance schools and village halls.
Alongside shows I have taken the Theatre Royal Bath course, helped maintain my school theatre, attended PLASA, and spent time on work experience with Enlightened loading trucks, handling flightcases and cleaning fixtures.
A nice balance between general lighting with some effective specials. The use of the mirror ball gave a nice dimension to the flying scene and the chasing lights in the sword fight added excitement. Some nice touches, done well.

Lighting choices complemented the story beautifully, with cool blues signalling colder weather and snowflake projections creating a festive atmosphere.
