My approach
First and foremost, the reason I love designing sound for theatre is the opportunity for collaboration. I always strive to create sound designs that are fully embedded in the world of the play and respond to the thematic, conceptual and narrative elements of a production. I believe that within every subject matter there is a sonic component and a role for sound and listening to play in exploring and illuminating the subject in their own unique way.
Over the years, I have been fortunate to work on a wide range of productions, developing a broad range of skills including devised work, binaural headphone productions, music for choreography, multi-channel sound installations, accessible theatre and immersive theatre. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss your project with me.
