What’s been your highlight during your time at Guildhall?
The major highlight of my time at Guildhall has been making such great connections! I have had the honor of making great personal and professional connections with the incredible people we’ve worked with at Anystage Creative and Little Angel Theatre. But I can’t forget about the connections I’ve made with the amazingly talented members of my cohort, whom I can’t wait to work with again in the future.
What other passions and projects have you enjoyed exploring during your time at Guildhall?
My time in the MA Collaborative Theatre Production and Design course has taught be a lot about myself and what I am able to accomplish both within my field and outside of it. I’ve found that I really enjoy being a part of the conceptual and writing process, especially when creating a new show.
What are you most interested in working in after you graduate?
After graduating, I am most interested in working in Lighting Design and Video/Projection Design. But I am always interested in applying my skills to other fields. I’m very interested in working in immersive and installation art, as well as Theatre. As far as content goes, I’m interested in working in politically and socially conscious art and helping to create new works.
