About me
I am a theatre technician and programmer based in Cambridge with over 10 years of professional experience in the theatre industry. In this time I have designed, programmed and re-lit shows for many different designers using the Strand 500, ETC Congo, ETC EOS/GIO/ION, Avolites Range, Wholehog 2 and GrandMA 1 & 2. Having worked as a software developer in the past I believe this helps me greatly with the logical thinking needed to work as a good programmer and technician and also helps vastly with my knowledge of networking.My background is in theatre lighting and mainly in the touring circuit. After quite a few years of touring I have decided that I would like to move more into the freelance area and hopefully experience more in different sectors of the industry, not just theatre. I would also like to gain some more experience in international touring and advance my lighting design portfolio.
From working in the theatre I have a good work ethic and am used to working to tight time constraints. I am very competent at temporary power installations and the repair and maintenance of a lot of different equipment. Currently I am studying to take my 17th Edition 2nd Amendment and have a CSCS ‘Construction Related Occupation’ card as well as an IPAF 3A + 3B license.
In the past 2 years I have programmed the lighting for Hairspray in Malaysia and Singapore, Aladdin at the Cambridge Arts Theatre and Cirque Berserk UK Tour for Mike Robertson as lighting designer. I have also programmed Dick Whittington at the New Wolsey Ipswich for Richard G Jones and Robin Hood at the Cambridge Arts Theatre for Tim Lutkin.
At the start of 2014 I was very luck to take The Rocky Horror Show to Australia before returning to the UK to tour as re-lighter for the UK & Irish tour of Falling Song for Junk Ensemble. Following that I went on to be the technical manager and re-lighter for the UK tour of A Darker Shade of Fado. In the summer of 2014 I returned to Edinburgh as the Head of Lighting for the Assembly Festival. To finish 2014 I took over as Chief Electrician on Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake International tour.
2015 was slightly more restrained and started with programming the new tour of Cirque Berserk. Straight afterwards I joined Spamalot for ATG, as Chief Electrician. Once again I was Head of Lighting for Assembly Festival in Edinburgh until the start of August when I moved onto Priscilla.
Currently I am LX No.1 on Priscilla Queen of the Desert and will be with this until the middle of 2016.
