Love and Information by Caryl Churchill, performed by the Pegasus Youth Company 16-25. For this production I worked as the Production Manager, coordinating the set, lighting, sound and video components of the show in addition to sourcing and building the set.
The Brookes Got Talent show’s second iteration, run through the student union, Sabah and I worked together to deliver a talent show showcasing performing arts at Oxford Brookes University. I worked as the production manager, managing the budget, designing the lighting and sound in addition to operating it on the day of the show. This also included all of the scheduling and additional equipment hire. We worked to deliver a prosecco reception with apéritifs prior to the show in addition to working with the then newly opened Westgate shopping centre to offer raffle prizes to those who attended the event. We also worked with Ox Events, the local club promoter to offer free entry wristbands to attendees and artists of Brookes Got Talent to go to the clubnight at Atik following the event.
The cultural events at TASIS Switzerland allow for a showcase of various different types of performing art to the students. As part of my role as Technical Coordinator I work organise and manage the Tech Team to setup the performing space from scratch with a lighting rig, PA system and projections as well as coordinating with maintenance to lay out the marley flooring and build the theatre blacks at the back of the stage.
For the duration of the performance I design and run the light, sound and visual projections and information. Then coordinating the pack down and closing of the venue space for the evening.
The cultural events always provide an interesting opportunity as there is a mix of dance, instrumentation and vocals with acts of varying sizes and styles. Check out the video and photo gallery below.

On the Brookes Union Events Team we organised a Talent Competition with the final between the contestants on the 4th of April 2017.
I auditioned contestants with the events committee and on the day of the show managed the contestants and all of the technical aspects of the show. This included designing the lighting, gathering audio tracks and mixing sound during the show.
It also included managing and setting up the MentiMeter we used to receive votes from the audience.
During the summer programs at TASIS Switzerland there are a series of Cultural Events which feature a variety of music, dance, singing, and acting. They are to culturally enhance the summer program experience for the students who are aged 4 - 18.
The cultural events feature a setup period of around an hour followed by a dress rehearsal and any notes, then a performance to the students and other staff members. The setup includes coordinating with the maintenance team to set-up the space. I worked with my team of four to set up the masking, lighting, and sound equipment. Before each event a planning meeting is held to ensure a fast setup and take down as the space must be cleared before the next day.
We work with a range of wireless equipment for sound along with an analogue Behringer Xenyx 2442 console. Lighting consits of a range of parcans, fresnels, profiles, LED par cans and Martin Mac moving lights. All of the par cans, profiles and fresnels are mounted on moveable Manfrotto tripods and prepared before each performance to ensure the most efficient use of time.
