Possibly the most exciting thing about starting a theatre company is the potential to explore areas of theatre that I had previously not been involved in. Not only am I performing in the piece, but for the first time in my career I am to be involved in arranging the lighting for the show as well. I’m looking forward to this as in addition to being another skill to acquire it also means that when watching other performances I can observe what choices they made when it came to their own technical needs. I am currently looking into shows from all media that were praised for their lighting, so as to better inform my own decision making process.
