About me
I have been a highly successful IT Project Manager with extensive experience gained over many years in the industry. As recently as over the past 10 years, I have managed several high-value projects from inception to delivery live to the client.I have experience in Production Management in 2 shows: 1984 at the City Lit and The Boy on a Beach at the Courtyard Theatre. As a result, I have good experience of undertaking risk assessments, and implementing and monitoring Health and Safety during a production.
I was Lighting Designer, Lighting Technician and Lighting Operator/Programmer on Seasons Greetings at the City Lit.
I was Lighting Technician and Lighting Operator/Programmer on 1984 at the City Lit.
I was Lighting Designer, Lighting/Sound Technician and Lighting/Sound Operator/Programmer on The Boy on a Beach at the Courtyard Theatre.
I worked as Sound Designer and Sound Operator/Programmer on a production of "The Love of the Nightingale" at the City Lit.
I have also worked as Lighting/Sound Technician and Lighting/Sound Operator/Programmer on Hamlet at the Cockpit Theatre.
Therefore, I have reasonable experience working in fringe theatre and know many of the issues and limitations.
I studied all aspects of technical theatre through the BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Production Arts at the City Lit College in London. I specialised in Lighting and Sound, but also covered Production Management and Stage Management.
Finally, I have had work experience at the Sadlers Wells group of Theatres. There, I took part in 3 productions, including an Opera and two Dance productions. I took part in the get-in, the lighting and sound setup and maintenance and the get-out for each of the three productions.
