About me

I have been working in theatre for over 6 years starting off as an Apprentice lighting technician at Curve Theatre Leicester working full time with the team on both produced show and touring shows working on get ins and get outs as well as show and maintenance. After finishing my apprenticeship, I worked as a casual technician at both Curve and the Birmingham Hippodrome working on touring shows as well as Curve produced shows mainly working in the lighting department working on get ins and get outs, shows and maintenance. In 2018 I took on the role of full-time lighting technician at Curve working on produced and touring shows leading crews for get ins and get out as show crews. In 2019 I left curve to tour Warhorse as Lighting and Video Assistant on its UK and international tour.
