Biography

What has been your highlight during your time at Guildhall?

Personally, my highlight at Guildhall was working as Wardrobe Manager on the Reps 2021, ‘Mr Burns’ and ‘Gone Too Far!’ I really enjoyed both of these productions as they were both so different and it was great to work on two projects at once. ‘Mr Burns’ was so much fun to work on as there was a lot of unusual items to make such as interesting head pieces and 8 Britney Spears inspired dresses. I also got to learn so much from that production as I was working with a freelance Costume Supervisor and so she taught me her tips and tricks! ‘Gone Too Far!’ was also incredible as it involved beautiful carnival costumes which were made in Nigeria! It was such a fun and expressive piece, whilst also having such a strong story to tell and lesson to learn. The whole design of the two shows, from the lighting to the set was just so incredible and I had such a great time.

What’s been your highlight in the industry?

It has been a difficult year trying to get some experience due to the current situation but I was lucky enough to get 3 days work experience on ‘Constellations’ at the Vaudeville Theatre with the Donmar Warehouse. I learnt so much on these 3 days and it has made me so excited to graduate and become part of the industry.
