Education
Film and Theatre
-
This university degree offered me the opportunity to fully understand all areas of the theatre industry both academic and in production. Throughout the course we studied in depth both Film and Theatre production, with on site technicians training students on each aspect of production, including set building, rigging lights and stage management.
During my second year of study I decided to focus my skill set on theatre and directed a short 10 minute excerpt of 'The Man Who' by Peter Brook. Directing this piece, I used a cast of four to experiment with the idea representing various traits of Autism, and attempting to represent some of the difficulties with Autism integration in society. During this production I was responsible for my own set build, making our own sound scape and creating and running our lighting design.
In my third year, I decided to focus my third year project in the form of a dissertation: Redefining 'In-Yer-Face Theatre': An exploration of the Aleks Sierz's work during the 1990's. This essay explored the work of Mark Ravenhill, Sarah Kane and Anthony Neilson, using examples of their work and how far they directly related to or challenged the various terms which Sierz outlined during his career.
