Emma Gabola (MA Collaborative Theatre Production & Design)

Biography

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

The project that we did in association with the Little Angel Theatre was a particular success, and getting to create and direct a show for children was an incredible and new experience for me.

What’s been your highlight in the industry?

My work as resident Producer and Production Manager for the theatre and film company Mannequin Mouth has so far been some of the most exciting and inspiring I’ve had the pleasure to be involved in. It reminds me of why I love working in this industry.

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

I’ve gotten the incredible opportunity to learn some more technical skills in the realm of video editing and design that I’d always hoped to develop. But, most importantly, my time on in this programme has taught me some incredibly valuable lessons in creative collaboration. I have never felt better equipped to tackle working in a creative team.

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

I’m most interested in working as a Production Manager, but also doing some directing and writing, in theatre or in film.
