Prop Making
The finished piece, complete with a hole in the stomach to fit a heart inside.
Made using bin bags stuffed with newspaper to create the general body shape and a smaller bag was used for the head.
To create weight to the pig, we drilled planks of wood inside.
To store the heart which would be doused in fake blood, we drilled a soup pot inside where the heart could sit without moving around.
Torn rope was used to create the fur effect

'The Last Five Years' - Old Joint Stock Pub and Theatre, Birmingham
This was the biggest thing I'd ever done on my own before and I was really excited by the challenge! Due to limited timing, I painted in the dark for a lot of it, whilst the lighting and tech rehearsals were going on around me.

The Clock

| There were no hands on the clock as the director didn't want it to be a specific moment in time. |
