A lovely review of a show I lit and am currently touring with! A beautiful show that deserves all the praise it gets :)

Filskit’s theatre show for young audiences features clowning, aerial tricks and an engaging tale of friendship

This week I've been working with the wonderful Filskit Theatre bringing 'The Artist' to Stratford Circus, London. A show for ND kids by ND artists. It was hard work Andrew longs days but so worth it to see the lovely responses from the audiences.

My latest gig has been to light the wonderful Filskit Theatre's 'The Artist' - an interactive art gallery piece made by ND artists for ND audiences.

It has been a challenge to stay simple and consider how the lighting looks live and through a camera. It's such a lovely show.

Excited to share my work in this production next week! These lovely people are making a beautiful show about starlight and friendship. And I get to play with some very cool LED pendants 😁

Holy Guacamole! Only one week to go until the first performance of our brand new family show, STELLA! 🌟 ARC Stockton Arts Centre🌟 Expect projection, laughs and aerial excitement (and remember to always wish upon a star)

Choosing my gels for the next LD project in working on.... 30 mins trying to decide between different shades of pale yellow and I end up going with dark pink!

I keep finding the Lee Filters website invaluable at this point in the process.

2016 had been a fantastic adventure. I travelled half way around the world and back and got to meet some amazing people. And koalas!

IT has been an incredible year for me. I flew around the world to do the job I love. I worked with some incredible people and artists. Here are a few pictures of my year you should totally take a peek at.
