’m a tenacious worker and a creative problem solver.
Over the last few years I have worked in different aspects of Film and Theatre. Whether it has been art direction, design, production or marketing, the skills I have learned have been useful and transferrable. I have learned to adapt to situations as they change, multitask and structure and organise time. Seeing as these industries are collaborative in nature, I’ve learned to work in a team in a cohesive way
I am incredibly interested in the images we consume within the media today. I find that each image conveys a story, a message and a lifestyle. As a theatre designer my approach to most briefs is to find the narrative that’s being told. People are becoming cleverer consumers and are more aware and critical of what they are being shown than ever before. The market is begging for innovation and diversity, and I would love to be a part of fulfilling that need.
Work history
Designer
- The Place, 20 Flaxman Terrace, Kings Cross, London WC1H 9AT, UKFreelance
I worked as a Designer on a dance piece "James Dream" as a part of a design and dance collaboration at The Place, Euston.
My choreographer and I devised a dance piece around the theme of identity and self discovery using the metaphor of an old car.
As a designer, my visuals focused on stripping down the car to it's bare bones, parallel to the concept of stripping away layers to find your own essence. My choreographer focussed his movements on repetition of motif, parallel to concept of reinforcing behaviour to forge your own identity.
My roles included:
a) Managing the budget
b) prop sourcing
c) Renting required lighting
d) Prop Building and carpentry
Assistant Production Co-ordinator
- New Delhi, IndiaInternship
Through pre-production I was a part of brain storming sessions, creating proposal decks for customers as well as creating and coordinating the required props, set pieces and costumes for up coming shoots.
Through shoots my role varied from set and prop design and construction to make up artist and taking care of the talent on set. Other times I just did the job of a runner or crowd control.
As it was a small company, I also got involved with hosting events with their sister company "Bedlam", including a comedy night, an actors mixer and a film screening.
