Theatre work was far from Mark's mind when he embarked on a degree at Oxford University. However, after stumbling across the Oxford Playhouse and having lit many student productions, he went on to study Stage Lighting at RADA, from where he graduated with Distinction. Mark has been lighting productions both internationally as well as extensively in the UK for a number of years. His work has encompassed Opera, large Musicals, Plays of all shapes and sizes and site specific projects in a range of locations. Keen to share his experiences Mark has also been a guest lecturer and tutor for National Youth Theatre, East 15 and RADA. Mark is represented by Associated Arts. |
