Miranda Cattermole

MA Performance Design Student


Biography

Miranda is a performance designer based in Bristol. She enjoys creating work that foregrounds the body and its relationship with space; and during her time at BOVTS has designed for both theatre and dance.

Her use of artistic processes such as painting, drawing, collage and printmaking are an important part of her concept development and outcomes. She is interested in exploring how the qualities of these media translate into stage environments.

Before studying at BOVTS, Miranda trained in Fine Art & Art History at Goldsmiths (BA Hons, First Class), where she specialised in filmmaking. She has also worked as a stage technician in venues across London including Sadler’s Wells, Almeida Theatre, Kiln Theatre, and Orange Tree Theatre.

Students relaxing outside of the School
The School is in a beautiful part of Bristol, overlooking a huge park called the Downs. We sometimes take advantage of our close proximity to the Downs during the summer term, practising fight and dance routines, or voice or singing classes! Dan Hall, BA Professional Acting student
