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.

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
