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

A highlight from my time at Guildhall so far has to come from the team spirit that was felt during the initial stages of the pandemic. As we had to close for a week it meant that production on our show Antigone was put on hold and so we had to pull a long week in order to get it in on time. Unfortunately we were unable to realise the show in the end, but the teamwork and enthusiasm in that week to try and get it on was outstanding.

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

Whilst I haven’t completed it yet, I am looking forward to the opportunity to create a PC in a Peli case as part of my graduation project. It will enable me to look into the mechanics of building a PC with industry specific I/O’s, while also having the challenge of fitting everything you need into a Peli case.

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

Learning about Rigging and Automation whilst at Guildhall has sparked an interest in an area that I hadn’t had the opportunity to explore before coming here.

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

Upon graduation I am interested in working in Rigging and Automation, either in Theatre or Live Events.
