In true Ben fashion, I’m making this later than I planned to but alas here we are. I’m not entirely sure what this blog will be made up of, or how often I will post.

By trade, I am a freelance production and event manager, freelance lighting and sound designer and freelance technician currently based in Oxford. Honestly, I’m starting other creative endeavours as the live events space is suffering, which is a complete understatement. If you’re really interested in what is going on right now, I would check out the #WeMakeEvents movement. I do what I do because I love it, I find it really exciting and every day is completely different. There really is nothing quite like the thrill of running a live show, which is something I miss currently. 

So, what am I going to do here? There will probably be a fair share of a stream of consciousness writing in regards to all things theatre tech, fun projects, general ridiculousness and maybe even a little information about what my company BGP is doing. I’m also going to start uploading videos in regards to theatre and live events tech to YouTube as a personal project and something I think will be quite entertaining.

See y’all soon!
