I want to make sure your shows go as smoothly as possible! Putting on a production at UCL is a huge undertaking and I want to ensure that you have all the resources you need in order to make your show a success. Having performed on the Blooms with various societies, directed a term show (‘Top Girls’) and a Blooms show (‘An Ideal Husband’), I know the ups and downs of the production process and want to fill in those potholes so that the road ahead for you is as smooth as possible. 

My aims:

- Provide production teams with whatever resources they need. Whether that be contacts (other societies, costume houses, performance venues, academic input etc.), financial advice or welfare support.

- Maintain a clear channel of communication with stage crew, they are our closest allies and without them your show will be considerably less jazzy. Get to know them!

- Create a list of performance venues available to you, including non-traditional playing spaces (black box is good but let’s get creative!)

- Cultivate a list of agents and industry professionals to make sure the right people see your work.

- Offer support during the rehearsal process. I want to make your creative vision a reality and will do everything in my capacity to make that happen!

- Create an archive of past productions. This way we will have a record of all your hard work (good to show employers), and will help us to ensure that going forward we are able to produce a fresh and diverse repertoire of theatre.
