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

Working as stage manager on the production of Provok’d, that challenged the audience and raised issues usually seen as taboo subjects, is one of my highlights at Guildhall.

What's been your highlight in the industry?

Working as production intern with Artichoke Trust on the Lumiere Durham 2019.

What's something you've learned that you feel will help you when you graduate?

Due to this term's newly ‘Virtual’ productions, we’ve been thrust into the world of high level previsualisation and I think these skills are going to be very useful as the theatre industry becomes even more digital.

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

During my time at Guildhall, I have been able to utilise my passion for making theatre and live performance more inclusive and using it to its full versatile value.

What's something you've learned that you feel will help you when you graduate?

Main things I have learnt at Guildhall are to approach every production with good humour and how to change your mind set about something that initially seems impossible, to make it possible.

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

Working on different forms of live production to evoke thought and creativity in an audience. I am interested in site-specific productions, as well as disability inclusive theatre, and working on a platform that has the ability to reach out to a wide and varied audience.
