Freelance (Glastonbury,, Upton House, Yaxley)

• Freelance Set Designer and Engineer

  • Jan 2017 - Present

  During the summer festival season I work freelance at a number of music, arts and cultural festivals. I enjoy working creatively in large groups of people to create something visually stunning and immersive from the ground up. Time pressure is significant but I relish this and am thrilled with the end results - I am a positive asset to any team and have a boundless energy - which is essential in festival work. Most notable productions of which I am most proud include The Common, Glastonbury 2017 and Upton House Music Festival 2017. A video of the set at Glastonbury can be seen in the links below - I contributed to the design and build of the Temple and the Cave in the Common which welcomed 20,000 festival-goers every day. I am very practical and hands on and have very pragmatic solutions to structural design problems. I enjoy problem solving and pushing the boundaries of design and enhancing the immersive experience of the guest. Show less
