What's been your highlight during your time at Guildhall?

Bringing performer flying to Guildhall with Earthquakes In London. Flying people is always something that has to be properly planned and risk assessed - and I’m extremely pleased it could be achieved.

What’s been your highlight in the industry?

Working as an Automation Deputy on Magic Mike Live at the Hippodrome Theatre.

What other passions and projects have you enjoyed exploring during your time at Guildhall?

As part of my graduation project I developed software, allowing automation systems to link to stage lighting and video solutions, achieving things like motion tracking.

What are you most interested in working in after you graduate?

Performer flying and theatrical rigging in a producing house, and developing bespoke show control solutions.
