Production & Technical

Stage management, show calling, lighting design and technical delivery — the work that gets a show on and keeps it there.

The production work runs from stage management and show calling to lighting design and technical delivery. I have stage managed and called around ten productions and events a year across a dual-campus London venue, run a twelve-performance Edinburgh Fringe production as company stage manager, and designed the lighting for an Off-West End debut. I now work on the technical pool at the Linbury Theatre, The Royal Ballet and Opera.

The through-line is the room: holding a rehearsal, advancing a visiting company's requirements, calling a show, or getting a rig focused and plotted before the first technical rehearsal.
