With keziah Drew

H

ello, I'm Keziah, a 20-year-old student from Banbury,

Oxfordshire.

I love, the performing arts and have done so since I was a child. More recently, however, I have taken an interest in Set Design. So naturally, my work I create at college and outside, usually centres around theatrical themes, and more often, 3D making.

For my final project, I turned Shakespeare's Sonnet 29 into a stop frame animation with objects I found and made.

I enjoy mixing different methods and media to try something new and explore the more macabre side of stage.

I’m drawn to outrageous and dark things (Hitchcock and Hopper etc.),

and the more thought provoking and curious the better. I hope I get the opportunity to incorporate these things into my future work and try and surprise the audience.

Dark comedy is something that I would love to be involved in, as well as the exciting immersive type of theatre like Punchdrunk's productions.

It's exciting how all the elements put together sets. Lighting, sound and costume are all crucial in creating an atmosphere or context on stage for the audience, and things that delve into the workings of the mind and affect the senses inspire me.

These kind of pieces tend to leave a lasting impression.

I am super excited to be starting
