Biography

Holly is a Set and Costume Designer in theatre and performance and has specialised in large-scale opera design during her time at BOVTS. She is interested in the relationship between art and theatre and is particularly inspired by the creation of tableau images onstage that are akin to a live painting. Before studying at BOVTS, Holly specialised in oil painting where she graduated from Lancaster University with a first class BA (Hons) degree in Fine Art.

Previous BOVTS credits include set design for Twelfth Night (Malcolm X) and Julius Caesar (Malcolm X), and set and costume design for Black Mountain (Wardrobe Theatre).

Training at BOVTS set me up with the skillset, confidence and connections for the career I now have as a freelance theatre designer. Max Johns, MA Performance Design Alumni
