Biography

Vysh is a performance designer currently based in Bristol. An Indian architect, she strongly believes in the power of story telling through design and art. Her methods of working are original and concept driven. Vysh designs by playing between colours, textures and lighting, always remaining mindful of sustainability and audience experiences. Vysh likes to design for both theatre and film. Her concepts are inspired from art and real life.

At BOVTS Vyshnavi designed the set for A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream directed by Paul Chesterton for the spring term and designed the set and costume for The Ugly One directed by Natalie Simone for the summer term.

Other BOVTS credits include The Writer, a speculative project in term 1 and The Lost Weekend (Film Noir) for her specialisation project.

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
