Biography

Louise trained in Fine Art at Leeds University and went on to gain a post grad. diploma in Figurative Sculpture at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in London. She then spent a decade working between the disciplines of Fine Art sculpture, animation and theatre which included 3 years leading an art production workshop that produced animatronic silicone figures for exhibition in Paris and Berlin inc. venues Théâtre du Châtelet and the Centre Pompidou.

For the past 6 years Louise has been Deputy Head of Props at the Royal Ballet and Opera in London before deciding to  make the move back to her roots in the west country and begin her role at BOVTS in November 2024.

The culture at BOVTS is encouraging, respectful, welcoming and empowering; the environment and buildings are beautiful and I found Bristol to be one of the most wonderful cities in which to spend summer! Lindy Yeates, Foundation Course Student
