Gabriel Finn

I am interested by a broad range of work, including contemporary opera and dance, radical theatre and the exploration of intersectional narratives. My visual language is sensitive and emotional, and I am always aiming light intentionally, even when I'm lighting for the audience's subconscious experience.

Outside of this rather stark conceptual outlook, I'm an inquisitive, communicative and playful person with a wide variety of life experiences, and the occasional outrageous anecdote!

My preferred pronouns are he/they.
