Prior to joining Charcoalblue Becky worked as a Technical Solutions Manager and Primary Install Consultant with Enlightened Lighting, managing projects, systems programming, design and specification for theatrical, events and performance spaces.

If you were to establish your own venue, what would you call it?
‘The Hub’
… and what would that venue specialize in? Dance, live music, theatre…?
The venue would specialise in small fringe type shows. I truly believe these are the ‘hub’ to all growth and creativity within the industry. Big and bold is spectacular and grand, but, small and quirky is creative and challenging!
What qualities should a 'great performance space' have?
Full accessibility for everyone. Creatively and physically.
What first sparked your love of theatre or performing arts?
Being able to mix visual creativity and art with electronics! Is there, or should I say, was there any other industry that you can paint an image with lighting and to do that was to mix numbers, technical equipment and a few crafty angles to achieve it!?
Supporting the industry internationally since 2004
