Starting Theatre Design

Hi there! My name is Ed, and you've found my blog dedicated to my work in theatre design. Although I've always loved the world of the theatre, this will be my first foray into the design process behind it.

I have always had a love for storytelling, particularly in film and on stage. I am a recent animation graduate, and am now using the knowledge I gained through my studies towards other artistic ventures. The focus I had through my degree was towards narrative, and I hope to carry this forward in my new work. I think there is a lot of transferable skills which I have learnt which can be applied to theatre design. Before my degree I completed a foundation diploma in art and design, which only helped to add to my passion and interest in art and design, but also let me experiment with different styles and aesthetics too. Recently all of my 3D work has been within a computer, so I'm looking forward to making some work by hand again.

I will be updating this blog with all my theatre design work as I produce it. I intend to take a text or an idea and turn it into concepts for a stage design, while including research, storyboards, costume ideas, computer aided design, and model boxes. Most of my work, for the time being, will be self imposed briefs, so I hope to pick a mix of projects I am familiar with as well as challenging myself creatively.

I am looking forward to seeing my creative results, and I hope you will all enjoy them too!
