Stage Management

I have a love of performance generally and theatre particularly. I also have an inherent need to organize, which puts me firmly in the area of stage management. Some highlights of my experience have been managing a venue for Pleasance Theatre Trust at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2018, Stage Managing the MFA Actors in Sleeping Beauty at GSA and my placement on Macbeth with Guildford Shakespeare Company.

Whether you are a writer, or an actor, or a stage manager, you are trying to express the complications of life through a shared enterprise. That's what theatre was, always. And live performance shares that with an audience in a specific compact: the play is unfinished unless it has an audience, and they are as important as everyone else.
