Cara Evans

Designer

Heyo. My name is Cara Evans (her/she). I am a London based performance designer with particular interests in devised and text-based work. I graduated in Design for Stage from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama with First Class Honours and Fine Art at the University for the Creative Arts Farnham. I enjoy working with particular materials to create tactile relations between performers/audiences and the environment. I have been involved in the Royal Court Theatre's Participation programme where I have become passionate about the development of new writing in collaboration with design. I also have interests in mime, puppetry and site specific performance and would like to continue working in a range of different contexts.
