Summary   Resume:

My technical and organizational expertise has been   developed over a decade of performing arts experience, 17 years as a   rock climber and a Doctoral degree.

This has been formalised in   the form of the Aerial Performance Rigger qualification, certifying me   to legally rig/work at height, perform rescues and use lifting   equipment.

I started my arts career as a performer - a   multi-instrumentalist since childhood and later physical theatre   including fire performance and clowning – affording a clear   understanding of the various needs of performing collaborators. After   being introduced to aerial performance techniques by the Gemini Twins, I   found a natural aptitude for providing technical support and rigging   solutions for such artists. I have since integrated my own mountain   rope-craft and specialist safety skills with circus and theatre   techniques to rig aerial equipment and audiovisual hardware in a wide   range of venues, including dedicated trapeze studios and bespoke   installations from Covent Garden to Scottish forests.
