EMMA JONES

I saw this chair on one of my many lock down walks, I'm lucky to have the beach so close by.  It struck me as odd, an upended chair on a beach.  So I sat with it as the sun set.

While I sat, I realised, a chair on a beach is not odd at all.  Every holiday resort has beaches lined with chairs - in fact you pay for the privilege of sitting.   
Even so it felt odd, it felt out of its place. 

Like an empty chair in an empty theatre I suppose, its purpose on hold.

Returning to the beach now I see the chair has a new life, a throne for impromptu beach gatherings - the most important seat on the beach.  Someone turned the chair over, sat on it and it had a function again. I really hope it won't be too long before we can turn over our chairs, flip down our seats and let the theatre function again.

The first show that Lighting Designer and Production Manager, Emma Jones, worked on was Little Shop of Horrors. She was the Stage Manager and her job was to push on the poor girl who was strapped to a wheely office chair and covered in foliage...she never looked back.

The last show she worked on before Lockdown was Scottish Dance Theatre's #AntigoneInterrupted. The show was made in the round so chairs were the hot topic of every production meeting.
​
She lit the show as well as being the production manager, loving and cursing the set up depending on which hat she was wearing at the time!
