Lighting Design — Matilda

A design that balances playful energy with darker, more dramatic tension.

Role & Approach

I handled the full lighting design, from rigging, DMX patching, and programming on the Zero 88 FLX, to running the live production. My approach centred on a versatile rig of profiles, LED PARs, and moving washes, using colour, haze, and structured cue stacks to shape atmosphere and heighten tension throughout the show.
