New chapter

I received the call yesterday afternoon to tell me that I have got the job as the new deputy production manager for the Old Vic theatre, I was gob smacked, in a good way. I never thought I would get the job when I applied for it.

This year I have been having a lot of the imposter syndrome. Something that came to my awareness from a blog by Robin Ince. It was something that I was aware of but until that post I realized what it really was. Its that point in your mind that goes your not really meant to be doing this as a job and you don’t know what your doing and your going to be found out.

Getting this job has made me snap out of this feeling, for now. In a weird way I felt that this is some sort of approval that no matter how well I’ve been doing as a freelancer that I just couldn’t find.

I am over the moon as full time employment is something I’ve been wanting for a long time and this is with a fantastic company to.

Ive worked on some amazing things over the years and have had some amazing experiences. I would like to thank some people and company’s that I’ve worked with.

Half moon theatre and especially Fred Beaufort. Bush theatre and the great technical team there. Almeida theatre for taking me to latitude festival.   Oily cart for the three tours of tube and a the Abu Dhabi run. All the amazing creative teams on various shows, amazing designers and lighting designers. Great crews that I have worked with and had a laugh with whilst working long and stupid hours. All the overnight crew that have been there for years at the ROH.

Its been an amazing 7 years freelancing and cant wait for this new chapter.
