Michael Breakey
Performance technician
“The performance technical team have a very wide brief. Such is the nature of performance creation that we need to be able to support students with their ideas connected to lighting, sound, costume, projection, puppetry, installation, masks and millinery, scenic painting, virtual reality, and pretty much anything else that they can come up with. The first step in finding out about a students' needs is getting them to sit down and present their idea and their plans. This stool is where students sit when they are telling me their plans and asking questions. The stool is a sort of focal point, where loads of ideas come in and perhaps a solution or next step comes out. When I think of what it means to me to be a technician it comes down to the connections with students. Helping them to navigate the infinite possibilities presented to them and to achieve their creative goals.”
