Ever since I was a child, I have been fascinated by music, film, theatre, the artwork of album and movies covers and the many different ways in which creativity can transport us. I have always loved those special moments when a performance takes you out of yourself, carries you somewhere else and moves you emotionally.
I spent many years touring as a lighting programmer for some of the largest productions . One of the things I loved most was watching an audience arrive carrying the worries and pressures of everyday life, only to be transported to another place for a few hours.
For as long as I can remember, I have had a story developing in my mind. It has evolved and changed over the years, but the desire to bring it to life as a stage production has always remained.
I am now actively developing the music of Moments of Grace alongside this story, with the long-term aim of creating both a theatrical stage show and a film.
I believe that when a powerful story is combined with music and striking visuals, it can take an audience on a deeply emotional journey. My hope is that people will leave the theatre feeling uplifted—with a renewed sense of joy, hope and possibility.
That is the heart and purpose of this project.
