Accidental Death of An Anarchist @royalacademyofdramaticart I was one of two lighting operators on this show, where I worked on 6 of the performances! This involved powering up and completing a rig check, operating the show, and then powering down, ensuring to put our desk lamp practical back on charge. I was part of the lighting crew for this production, as well as this year’s RADA Escape Room (‘Little’s Lost Letter’), and our other show ‘Nora: A Doll’s House’. We rigged and focused all the fixtures for these shows.

The Wonderful World of Dissocia @royalacademyofdramaticart This was my first show at RADA, where I was part of the fly crew for 8 performances! This involved cues such as flying scenic pieces in and out such as a blimp and sun, dropping a banner with an electro kabuki, and adjusting borders to allow swings to be lowered and swung on safely by the performers. I was also part of the construction crew for this production, alongside the two other RADA productions this term: ‘Dance Nation’ and ‘Pains of Youth’. 📷 Production photos: @ikinyum November 2025
