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

A highlight for me was working as the lighting designer on Production Arts Projects and collaborating with external creatives on projects still early in their development. In particular, working with writer and director Cameron Lythgoe on the new musical ‘Gilgamesh’. I really enjoyed being a part of the collaborative process on a piece so early in it’s development.

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

During my time at Guildhall, alongside lighting design, I’ve also discovered an enjoyment for production management. I am keen to keep my options open and explore both roles as I start my career, in particular working within theatre and live events.
