Lighting Design
Barnaby’s work as a lighting designer mostly keeps him close to the contemporary dance world. He is proud of his work with long standing collaborators such as Sita Ostheimer, Carlos Pons Guerra and Northern Rascals - with whom his voice as a light artist continues to evolve. He is excited for new challenges as he starts to work on more plays, operas and music concerts.
