MA Performance Design Student


Biography

Matthew is training to be a Performance Designer at BOVTS. He recently graduated from the University of Malta with a BA (Hons) in Performing Arts. He also spent a year studying Theatre and Drama at the University of Lincoln. Matthew’s artistic repertoire in production design is an array of different works with various established local Maltese companies in a variety of different sectors. His skills range from designing and making sets, costumes, and props to coordinating productions from the artistic side of things.

Previous credits include: Patience (Salesian Theatre); My Fair Lady (MCC); After Medea (Mosta Amphitheatre); Us/Them (Splendid); Hush (Manoel Theatre); Baxx Baxx (Manoel Theatre); Sleeping Beauty the Panto (Manoel Theatre). BOVTS credits include: The Red Shoes, The Ugly Duckling and Other Stories (Theatre in Education Tour); Picnic at Hanging Rock (Wardrobe Theatre); Newfrock (Bristol Old Vic Theatre).

One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels ‘homegrown’. From the set to the costume, lighting, acting and sound, every single aspect of a theatre production or film is down to the students. The location of Clifton is so serene and the School being so small everyone knows each other and it feels so personal and special. Violet Morris, BA Professional Acting Student
