Lighting Design

A theatrical lighting design balancing playful energy with darker, more dramatic tension.

Use of lighting and haze to create a dynamic and dramatic effect.

Role & Approach

Lighting designer, programmer, and live operator.

I handled the full lighting design, from rigging, DMX patching, and programming on the Zero 88 FLX through to running the live production.

The rig used profiles, LED PARs, and moving washes, with colour, haze, and structured cue stacks used to shape atmosphere and heighten tension throughout the show.
