About Me

Hi! My name is Jay and I'm a 20-year-old from Manchester who's currently enrolled in a theatre production course at Guildford School of Acting, perusing lighting as my specialism. I'm currently most interested in programming and, expanding my skills, and learning different programming techniques on new desks, currently having my ETC and AVO training under my belt. I also really enjoy the fit up processes and getting to be a part of transforming an empty spaces into a space where we can transport theatregoers to a different world though enhancing storytelling with lighting. My first ever programming role was at GSA where i programed a show called she kills monsters, which admittedly at the time i was so nervous about but during the process all the nerves were replaced with exitment and i truly fell in love with the art from and ive enjoyed every moment of being a part of a lighting team since
