Hello Everyone and Welcome to this latest episode of the podcast.
This week I am grateful to be joined once again by Ms. Fiona Watt of the Society of British Theater Designers.
Ms. Watt originally trained with the Motley Theatre Design Course in London.
She is a freelance scenographer who enjoys exploring the relationship between existing architecture and the performance space, unlocking the hidden dynamics within traditional and non-traditional theatre spaces to find the strongest points of exchange between performer and audience.
Fiona is Honorary Secretary of the Society of British Theatre Designers and UK Performance Design Commissioner for OISTAT (International Association of Scenographers Theatre Architects and Technicians).
In the last year she has helped organize, curate and open the Staging Places Exhibition. Its first incarnation was presented at the 2019 PQ. In July, the exhibition was installed and presented in its full form at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England. The exhibition is slated to remain there until the end of March 2020. To learn more about the exhibit, you can visit the Staging Places website at stagingplaces.co.uk or go directly to the Victoria and Albert Museum site for information.
