About me
I will be graduating in 2012 from the University of Warwick. Although my degree is not theatre-related, I have been involved in theatre throughout my time at Warwick, putting on many shows at Warwick Arts Centre, both in the main theatre and studio.I have had experience as producer, puppet maker, prop maker, and costume designer/maker for shows at Warwick Arts Centre, as well as costume maker and assistant head of wardrobe/dresser for a show at the Belgrade theatre in Coventry. I have taken two shows to the Edinburgh Fringe, one as head of marketing and the other as producer, pianist and costume designer.
I have a wealth of practical experience in the creative and administrative sides of theatre. I am extremely keen to learn new techniques and am seeking work experience as well as paid work. I will do anything, make anything, and always with a smile on my face!
