#InternationalWomensDay #IWD2022

Beyond happy to have made my professional debut this week as Sound Operator for Robin Hood, here at @theLBT. I can’t thank the team enough for making me feel so welcome through the whole process, it’s a joy to work with you all each day :)

Was lucky enough to see @ImitatingtheDog’s production of Dracula: The Untold Story at @LeedsPlayhouse last week. It was amazing how they used technology in such a simple way that was really impactful on the performance - definitely something I would love to do in the future!

Spent this afternoon working on my projection mapping with some makeshift model shapes and Isadora’s IzzyMap by @troikatronix. Their online guru sessions have been so helpful for learning the skills needed to do this!

@LCC_Backstage from a box of messy cables to all nice and neat again!

@LCC_Backstage @irenejadedesign @davidgfarley @hayleygrindle @MaxHJohns @CarrieAnnStein @madeleineboyd @RoseRevitt @gjohnsonleigh @EmmaTompkins @LeslieTravers ‘The Son of Man’ by Rene Magritte, with a few improvisations!

#BackstageTaskMaster 2:Costume Art - Using your wardrobe recreate a work of art. Amaze one of these fab designers with your creativity. @irenejadedesign @davidgfarley @hayleygrindle @MaxHJohns @CarrieAnnStein @madeleineboyd @RoseRevitt @gjohnsonleigh @EmmaTompkins @LeslieTravers

@LCC_Backstage @BradPlayhouse @YorkTheatre @CityVarieties Hmm, personally I’d convert it into some form of projection - would add a modern take to a traditional pantomime, and it’d definitely be more durable then!

@MariaJenkinson6 @BradPlayhouse @YorkTheatre @CityVarieties Will it last a run of 80 shows? 🤣

@LCC_Backstage how’s this for a beanstalk?! Made from tree branches, apples and runner beans from the garden - over 7 metres in length! @BradPlayhouse @YorkTheatre @CityVarieties reckon you could fit it on the stage in your theatres?!

Making use of an empty stage: Example A. Our Costume Department took the opportunity to have a rather big sort out of our incredible collection and we just had to share these amazing photos of three and half tonnes of theatrical costumes suspended in our auditorium.

An amazing session tonight with @CreativeSceneWY as part of @BandSYTC ‘s online Summer School! Very fortunate to be offered these opportunities especially in the current climate. Can’t wait to put the things I’ve learnt tonight into practice!
