  • Just a few quick photos left over from my first design on the main stage at Sadler’s Wells last month. I was lucky enough to work with Akram Khan and Sandeep Virdee and some amazing Indian choreographers on two nights of dance as part of the Darbar Festival 2018. A significant part of the lighting design was using an installation […]

    Great to have the opportunity to work in a new country, as I’m currently in South Korea lighting my first foreign language production of The Play That Goes Wrong.

    My first experience lighting a show for babies, as Filskit Theatre’s new show Kaleidoscope is designed for an audience aged 6 to 18 months. Following our visit to The Sussex Baby Lab at The University of Sussex to learn about how sight and colour perception develops in the very young, we ran with that idea and the inspiration of Ka […]

    Great to be working with Theatr Clwyd again, and with the Guild of Misrule on their immersive production of THE GREAT GATSBY in Mold. They’ve arranged a great building to house the show – The Dolphin Inn, a rooming inn since the 16th Century. It’s a challenge to light using conventional fixtures, as while there’s […]

  • Just a bit different this week, as we present The Play that Goes Wrong on a thrust stage (for only the second time in my memory * ) at Chichester Festival Theatre. Obviously for a show with a fixed back wall that provides something of a challenge, but luckily Alan Bartlett’s been planning for this date since the tour was announced. […]

The 2018 company will be out for 9 […]
