‘The Citz’ – An affectionate name given by locals to the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow.
Thats where I spent 5 weeks on work placement as a scenic artist on ‘Ghosts’ and ‘Museum Of Dreams’ Three photographs to sum up the fruit of all our efforts, here ya go!
Ghosts was designed by Jason Southgate, and got 4 stars in The Guardian Newspaper. Museum of Dreams was designed my Frances Gallop and got 5 stars in The Herald. Described as a “gorgeously ornate wee room” Makes me smile, I made that! 🙂
Best thing I’ve ever done for my career (or what’s to come of it) was going and working at that place. Even through the long days and last 2 weeks of nightshifts, I really feel like I have shed a skin – old bad habits and negativity alike. Wonder how long my refreshened mood will survive in the academy! Time will tell.
