About me
Since the age of nine I have lived and breathed theatre, after living in a theatre for six years my passion for technical theatre thrived. Over the years I have worked on hundreds of shows from musicals and plays to dance shows and fundraisers, working across various departments. I have worked in the lighting department, sound department and backstage as a member of stage management or as a stage hand, this includes flying on a counter weight system. I get great joy out of seeing a production coming together and I love working as a team to achieve this.Additional skills:
I can communicate effectively and efficiently with directors and other crew members. I am able to memorise scripts, settings, and actor’s names and set designs easily. I excellent leadership skills but am also a brilliant team player. I am very confident and I am good at making decisions under pressure. I am scrupulous at ensuring the safety and cleanliness of all areas including the theatre and workspaces. I also have basic carpentry and scenic art skills. I am Q Lab proficient. I have used pyrotechnics and have a basic knowledge of power tools. I have operated numerous lighting and sound desks. I have a full clean driving license.
