Thomas Hume (MA Collaborative Theatre Production & Design)

Biography

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

I genuinely enjoyed my time with the cohort, and greatly miss the expertise; guidance and joy from my course leaders Susannah and Emily. Project 3 (HIGH RISE) in France was also life-changing! As someone who can’t often travel, it was a priceless opportunity which taught me many things about myself and my working style.

What other passions and projects have you enjoyed exploring during your time at Guildhall?

In the summer break before our final essay & viva voce, I was able to take a couple of freelance jobs creating artbooks and promotional materials for some then up-and-coming projects. I probably should have done more…!

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

The art of patience, creative generosity, and rolling my sleeves up to get the job done. I’ve also learned to trust my skills and embrace being a multidisciplinary creator in an industry where everyone has their specific “thing”.

What's been your highlight in the industry?

Since graduating I have embarked on a brand new project with two others from the 22-23’ CTPD cohort. It’s not “the” industry as such - but stay tuned!

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

Who knows! I don’t think I’ll ever know exactly what I want from my future - and I’m in no rush to figure it out. Whatever it is will be big, though!
