Biography
Hugo is a Performance Designer, working holistically across disciplines of set, lighting, and video design. He received his BA (Hons) in Italian and History of Art from UCL in 2021, with the highest marked dissertation of his cohort, entitled After Dark: Light as a material for placemaking. In 2019, Hugo spent a year working as an electrician and lighting design assistant at Teatro alla Scala in Milan. Hugo’s specialist skills include digital modelling and drafting, lighting design, visualisation and programming. BOVTS credits include: Romeo and Juliet (Redgrave Theatre); The Last Days of Judas Iscariot (The Station).
Training at BOVTS set me up with the skillset, confidence and connections for the career I now have as a freelance theatre designer.
