About me
I am currently a Venue Consultant for Arup Venues, specialising in theatrical engineering and systems design.I recently spent several years as the Technical Manager of the ADC Theatre, Cambridge. As well as overseeing all technical and backstage operations in this busy producing theatre, I was central to the execution of an approx. £1million refurbishment project which involved both liaising with the main contractor and supervising a considerable theatrical electrics install.
As a designer I enjoy building vivid stage pictures and soundscapes that draw both those watching and those performing deeper into the world on stage - I have designed both lights and sound in small studio venues, as well as larger venues such as recently the Oxford Playhouse.
As a technician and mixer, I have particular experience building and programming sound systems for large scale amateur musicals with 20+ wireless mics, full band and digital consoles, as well as mixing line by line during the show.
However I have also worked at the other end of the scale as a multi-skilled technician working solo in a small fringe venue responsible for all technical, stage and logistical requirements of incoming shows. I have also performed casual work for local theatres and events companies.
Additional skills:
I have previously worked as a CAD operator for Jacobs Engineering and so am familiar with Autodesk AutoCAD, and have also used Autodesk Revit. and I have some experience using Vectorworks Spotlight. I am familliar with Windows, Mac and Linux systems and standard software packages (Office etc.) as well as theatre specialist software packages (ArrayCalc, R1, WSM, MAPP, QLab, Pro Tools etc.)
I hold a St. John's Ambulance First Aid at Work certificate, a City and Guilds 2382-15 Requirements for Electrical Installations certificate, and an IPAF PAL 3a/3b card.
I can read music confidently.
